The phenomenon that’s been sweeping the country seems to be here to stay. Not only are the teenagers who have come back from their graves still here, but newlydeads are being unearthed all the time. While scientists look for answers and politicians take their stands, the undead population of Oakville have banded together in a group they’re calling the Sons of Romero, hoping to find solidarity in segregation. Phoebe Kendall may be alive, but she feels just as lost and alone as her dead friends. Just when she reconciled herself to having feelings for a zombie -- her Homecoming date Tommy Williams -- her friend Adam is murdered taking a bullet that was meant for her. Things get even more confusing when Adam comes back from the grave. Now she has romantic interest in two dead boys; one who saved her life, and one she can''t seem to live without.

Another vast vision from Daniel R. Waters with his profound ability to bend words to his mastery of life, love and pain in the world of Poetry and Philosophy.

Karen Desonne is used to pretending to be something she’s not. She’s always passed as a normal, all-American teenager—with her friends, her family, and at school. It cost her the love of her life, and that she’s dead, she’s still passing—this time as alive. Meanwhile, Karen’s dead friends have been fingered in a high-profile murder, causing new anti-zombie regulations that have forced nearly all of Oakvale’s undead into hiding. Karen soon learns that the “murder” was a hoax, staged by Pete Martinsburg and his anti-zombie zealots. Obtaining enough evidence to expose the fraud and prove her friends’ innocence means doing the unthinkable: betraying her love by becoming Pete’s girlfriend. Karen’s only hope is that the enemy won’t realize who she really is—because the consequences could be even worse than death.

I see dead people...and so does everyone else, because more and more teenagers who have returned from the grave are converging on the small town of Oakvale, Connecticut, inspired by the words the "voice" of Generation Dead, Tommy Williams, writes on his blog MySoCalledUndeath.com. Tommy''s people-Mal, Karen, Sylvia, Takayuki, Tayshawn, Colette, Popeye, Melissa and the gang at the Haunted House-aren''t zombies that want to eat your brains or feast on your entrails, they just want to do the same things everyone else does-create, make friends, play sports, have fun, fall in love-live. But not everyone in Oakvale-especially Reverend Mathers and his flock at One Life Ministries-is willing to stand idly by and let them do any of those things. Not when so many members of the community would approve of the undead being "reterminated" and sent back to the graves they worked so hard to climb out of... Generation Dead Book 4: My Best Friends Are Dead contains, for the first time in print: The collected My So-Called Undeath blog Generation Dead: Stitches Three brand new Generation Dead stories, and one new bonus story set in the world of Break My Heart 1,000 Times

And when Tommy decides to try out for the football team, it sets off a chain of events that escalates into deadly violence. THE KISS OF LIFE When Adam takes a bullet for Phoebe, it proves everyone right - Adam is in love with her. And now that he''s come back to life, Phoebe''s presence may be more important than ever. They say that a zombie can come back from death faster if they''re loved... and kissed - which means Phoebe has to say goodbye to Tommy Williams, the other zombie in her life.

We’ve all had "one of those days." Yet, even under the most stressful conditions, humor seems to find its way through—at times it’s even sharper than your surgical instruments! Dr. Waters was asked by hundreds of readers of his first book, A Heart Surgeon’s Little Instruction Book, to create a similar work for all surgical specialties. He responded to the request by assembling a stunning collection of the best one-liners from hundreds of colleagues around the world. Here’s a sampling of this book’s humor and advice: Recognize when a referral is just someone wanting his or her problem to become your problem. Never let a published article stand in the way of common sense. Your percentages of body fat and moral fiber should never approximate each other. Be wary of colleagues who are more conversant with their billings than they are with their clinical results. Start each case with a clear conscience and an empty bladder.

Batman has vowed to rid Gotham City of the dastardly Penguin and his slinky confederate, Catwoman--but while the Caped Crusader is repulsed by his umbrella-wielding nemesis, he is also tantalized by the darkly seductive Catwoman. Original. Movie tie-in.

Poetry. A skunk, a dead jellyfish, fruitfLies--these are some of the landmarks in SKUNK NIGHT SONNETS, whose world mankind is lucky enough to share with the rest of nature. The rural New England outlook may remind readers of Frost, but Daniel Waters brings more wit than flint to the classic 14-line form. Waters''s SKUNK NIGHT SONNETS have roots decades deep in the small-town art of slow brooding. "This book approaches you with such civility, speaks with such courtesy, and touches you so deftly that you don''t know what it''s up to until, the conversation over, you pat your pockets and realize your illusions are missing: nature is not generous, creation not kind, the body not a temple, what you love most neither unique nor enduring, your chosen emblems of purity and power neither powerful nor pure"--Rhina Espaillat.
