T.L. Bodine’s upcoming novel River of Souls (Trepidatio, 2019) puts both new brains and a new heart into the timeworn zombie narrative by creating a world where Undeath is a manageable condition. Manageable, that is, if you’re fortunate enough to afford the constant injections of “miracle drug” Lazarus, willing to register with the government, and don’t step out of line around the living. A coming-of-age story, a sharp social commentary on American treatment of margnizalized communities, and a new take on the zombie yarn, River of Souls releases August 23. In preparation, we talked to author T.L. Bodine about the novel, her influences, and – of course – zombies.
