Celebrated illustrator K. G. Campbell, known for Flora and Ulysses, brings a touch of Tim Burton to this delightfully spooky new series about a boy who can't help but attract zombies.

August DuPont has spent his whole life inside a dilapidated house with his aunt Hydrangea. His lonely existence ends abruptly with a surprise invitation to meet an aunt and cousins he didn't even know existed. When newfound Aunt Orchid suggests that August attend school with his cousins, it's a dream come true.

But August has scarcely begun to celebrate his good fortune when he is confronted by a small problem on his way home. A small, very undead problem.
