These Words Are Haunted

Zombies spar with humans for dominance of a post-apocalyptic Manhattan in the Stoker-nominated A Plague on Both Your Houses. The King returns to prove that rock 'n' roll will never die in The Elvis Syndrome. And a dying boy is the catalyst for a deal with a decidedly different devil in Making Peace with the Leader. These and 10 other nightmarish tales form a bizarre baker's dozen in Scott Edelman's long-awaited first short story collection.
