Black Casket

Walking vestiges clinging to life, praying to find purpose in a world where none is found. Wandering till we find paradise…such is the existence of a zombie!These are words 12-year-old Ray Dean understands too well. He loudly proclaims to the zombies in Moss Town he’s going to be alive again, even when ridiculed. Even his living uncle, Elijah, thinks it’s a pipe dream. The Black Casket, the Undead's Holy Grail that is capable of turning a zombie back to human, is Ray’s only hope to be reunited with his parents— but it’s a relic lost to time.All that changes when Ray sees his former bully, Naomi Whistler, being kidnapped for her mystical undead channeling abilities by a notorious zombie from the Casket Run—an era of adventure and chaos. After saving her, the zombie’s last words reveal the location of the Casket—it’s in Zombie World, the Land of the Dead.Ray leaves his cozy shelter of Moss Town and embarks through the undead purgatory with Naomi to find the ancient artifact that will finally reunite him with his parents. Along the way, they’ll have to face undead creatures that defy reason, a zombie criminal syndicate after Naomi’s powers, and worse of all— the mastermind behind Ray’s death that sent him to the Land of the Dead to begin with.Can Ray and his friends find the Casket in time, or will Ray suffer a fate worse than being a zombie?
