Sons of Sludge Josiah Upton

It's hard being undead, starting your first day of high school among the living. It's been 100 years since the devastating zombie apocalypse, but a mutation of the virus has survived, killing infected children once they hit puberty, and bringing them back as the much feared Hybrid Reanimates, the SONS OF SLUDGE. If Zaul's true nature is discovered, he'll be locked away in a containment facility forever, so he must use makeup and a wig to blend in. His erratic symptoms of Rage, Lust, and Hunger will need to be controlled by strong government drugs, illegally bought from a containment officer who despises Zaul's kind. When he befriends Genny, an outcast human with a secret of her own, he becomes less occupied with keeping his identity safe, and more concerned with this strange girl, and what must be done to save her from a dark future. Bullets will fly, flesh will be consumed, and a Hybrid Reanimate will learn a lesson in sacrificial love, and what it means to be truly human.
