How to become the undead!
This short story is a prequel to Life After: The Arising. The book was intense and introduces the short story series about the Undead who are able to dig their way out of the cemetery. In a hopes to save money on the funeral cost of his brother, Bill, Holt embarks on his own journey into his own demise and transformation. Way has this uncanny talent for using short stories to create an intriguing and engaging tale of the undead, which lead into other stories. Life After: The Arising is a great collection and I would recommend reading each one.
