42 backers



$940

pledged of $6,000 goal



20 days to go



haven't been undead for long

still getting used to it

so please forgive my clumsy typing



let me introduce myself:

an "office zombie" rather than

the marauding variety



member of the Zombie-Living Alliance (ZLA)

the  peaceful arm of the undead rights movement



which compiled this book of the best

stories on attitudes towards zombies—



a means for the world, living and undead,

covering all gender identities, racial and class backgrounds

to discuss relations and hopefully bring

a peaceful end to the present conflict



together we can produce a better world

than the living alone are able to muster



each of the 13 short pieces illuminates

a different aspect of The Situation



the Undead Liberation Front is growing stronger

as more and more are bitten

while the living become increasingly militant



please support this project to raise funds

and goodwill for continuing efforts towards

restorative justice and peace in our time
