What the back of the book says
What I thought
There is a plague in the village of Cortton, a plague of the dead.  Corpses wlk the streets in search of the living.  The villagers send for the mage-finder Jonathan Ambrose, for they believe evil magic is at work.  They are right.  Jonathan soon discovers that it is Harkon Lukas who is behind the destruction of the town.
Harkon Lukas has a plan for escaping the bounds of his realm.  One of Jonathon's followers is just the person that Harkon Lukas needs.  Jonathan believes he is in Cortton to save the villagers, to lay the dead to rest.  But if Harkon Lukas escapes his curse and can travel the Dark Domains as he pleases... the slaughter has only begun.
This is a great book, if you're into zombies.  There's lots of zombie action in this book.  Swarms of zombies with one thing on their mind, "must eat brains!".  I enjoyed the way that this book mixed horror with fantasy.  It really did make a great combo.  Any horror or fantasy fan should enjoy this book.
