Briefly

In the spoof horror movie Shaun of the Dead (2004), the main characters pretend to be zombies in order to avoid attracting attention from roving groups of undead.Their ruse is quickly uncovered, but what if they had kept up the act long-term?Morgan Talty's debut book, Night of the Living Rez-published this past July by Tin House -is a collection of twelve short stories that form a loosely woven narrative around a Penobscot family living on a reservation in rural Maine and their struggles metaphorically to come back to life, as they dig out from generational and personal trauma.
