'R' is a zombie. He has no name, no memories and no pulse, but he has dreams. He is different from his fellow Dead. Amongst the ruins of an abandoned city, R meets a girl. Her name is Julie. She's the opposite of everything he knows: warm, bright - and very much alive - a blast of colour in a dreary grey landscape. For reasons he can't understand, R chooses to save Julie instead of eating her, and a tense yet strangely tender relationship begins. It breaks the rules and defies logic, but R is no longer content with life in the grave. He wants to breathe again - to live. And Julie wants to help him. But their grim, rotting world won't be changed without a fight ...

Work Description
R is having a no-life crisis -- he is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he is a little different from his fellow Dead. He may occasionally eat people, but he'd rather be riding abandoned airport escalators, listening to Sinatra in the cozy 747 he calls home, or collecting souvenirs from the ruins of civilization. And then he meets a girl. First as his captive, then his reluctant house guest, Julie is a blast of living color in R's gray landscape, and something inside him begins to bloom. He doesn't want to eat this girl -- although she looks delicious -- he wants to protect her. But their unlikely bond will cause ripples they can't imagine, and their hopeless world won't change without a fight. - Publisher.
