September Theme: Zombies About the Book Poppy is a single mother and fashion influencer who secretly supplements her income by stealing bodies and selling them on the black market. When she's hired to transport the body of her musical idol, Eddie Michaels, she thinks she's landed one final job that will let her leave her dangerous side hustle behind. The catch? Eddie isn't quite dead. What follows is a wildly entertaining supernatural road trip packed with dark humor, gore, and unexpected heart.
