    About this ebook

    From The NY Times and USA Today Best Selling Author Skye Eagleday: A dark Zombie fantasy of Horror and Love that reaches beyond the grave.

    Caitlyn was among the first to return. No matter how they had died, within three days they had regenerated and walked once more. Then their bodies started rotting. In their rabid state they would be driven by The Hunger and devour the Living. But a brilliant researcher has discovered how to distill the elements which allowed the initial regeneration and how to apply this power to heal ordinary people of blood diseases like leukemia. With rehabilitation Caitlyn and some of the others who had risen might be able to become human once more. All Caitlyn could think about was reuniting with her husband.
    But there were many haters who were convinced those who had been declared cured would eventually revert to their deadly Zombie form. These haters will prove more deadly to the Returned and those who loved them than The Hunger?

    (An adult tale of darkest fantasy and passion where death has lost its meaning through unquestioning love.)

      Love Never Dies

      How it began—

      She came back. Caitlyn Collins was part of the first ones who resurrected when whatever happened, happened. There were countless theories. Some saw it as act of an angry god. Others blamed fracking. Many blamed an erratic comet that shed its mixture of dirty ice particles and the unknown in Earth’s atmosphere. Some Republicans finally blamed global warming. Conspiracy fanatics saw some government’s heavy hand in secret experiments the way they had passed on the rumor AIDS had been concocted in a hidden laboratory to kill selected targets.

      But as to the conspiracy—there didn’t seem to be any particular pattern of who returned. Membership in this rarest representation of humanity appeared completely random. Perhaps it was a divine plan of an intelligent design that had finally learned how pristine statistics can be. A total of 11,214 individuals returned from wherever a soul goes when the body dies, and not a single person with Partially Deceased Disorder had any memory of what occurred from the point they died, to the point they opened up rabid eyes.

      They died for different reasons. Caitlyn had been shot during a robbery just outside of the dance studio. Others had committed suicide. Many had been in car accidents. Seventeen were murdered by the Cal State student and his assault rifle. Every single one of them eventually healed their wounds, self-inflected or not. Within 72 hours. No matter how damaged they had been, their bodies completely regenerated.

      But it appeared something else had returned with them. The Hunger. They had become bodies that sought other bodies in their insatiable need to survive. None could speak. None showed any personality traits other than rage as they attacked the humans. Loved ones soon got over the joy of some sort of sacred reflection of Lazarus as the newly risen fell upon the living and started devouring them.

      Then they started rotting. But it was the initial healing that led scientists to stop killing them (again) and to start treating them. Dr. Enid Patterson was the one who eventually won a Noble prize for discovering the protocol that stalled the rotting and began its reversal. She was now a billionaire for being able to extract the healing factors from the resurrected to treat people with certain blood diseases, like leukemia.

      The Rotten, as their haters called them, justified their treatments for that reason alone. Their bodies were like factories for producing the healing factors like a vaccine, and everyone believed it was simply a matter of time before Dr. Patterson and her team would expand to eradicating other diseases. The Gates Foundation was already busy applying the blood products of those with Partially Deceased Disorder to patients with malaria.

      Now—

      The coffee is great, Caitlyn said. People with Partially Deceased Disorder were constantly making statements that reflected their newness of experience. Anything they might have taken for granted when they were normal they appreciated now that they lived again, no matter how minor. It was both an eye-opener for people who never had the Disorder, and as irritating as hell. Nick smiled and caressed her cheek, which was smooth and free of the decay so obvious when he had first visited her at the Clinic.

      He would never have believed how well the treatments pulled them back into the world on a physical and psychological level if he had not watched it happen with Caitlyn. Her eyes had permanently changed. All of them had white irises, as if they had a fashion make-over by Marilyn Manson. Part of the treatment included the cosmetic contact lenses that restored Caitlyn's appearance of cornflower-blue eyes. She was wearing them now and took her assortment of daily meds with a swallow of her coffee.

      Another difference was an ironic one, where the medications darkened her skin enough to make Nick’s own look pale when he held her. Her smooth and delicate looking hands showed no evidence of the damage they had caused when she had been rabid. The authorities wouldn't or couldn’t tell Nick how many had died in the embrace of those sharp-fingered hands. The condition gave its victims great strength when they rose.

      He poured himself another cup and smiled at the idea Caitlyn's virginity had also regenerated. That had been an unexpected surprise when they were together her second day after being released from the Patterson Clinic. His next door neighbor moved out when the local newspaper printed the names of the ones who had returned. The neighbor’s attitude reflected a lot of others who were convinced it was just a matter of time before those like Caitlyn went rabid once more and started slaughtering again.

      Nick tried not to think about it. He hadn’t really known Liam McKinsey very well. The older man and his wife kept to themselves. Nick would sometimes hear them yelling at one another. One day after a particularly loud argument he saw Mrs. McKinsey had a black eye but when she saw him looking she rushed back into her home clutching her retrieved mail.

      All Nick cared about was his wife. Caitlyn just seemed to be Caitlyn again other than not having any memories from the time the robber shot her to waking up months later at the Patterson Clinic, her body shackled to the frame of the hospital bed. She smiled at him and he knew what she
