Biographical note
Alice James was born in Staffordshire, to a mother who was addicted to science fiction and a father who was fond of long country walks, so she grew up with her head in the stars and her feet on the ground. She lives in Oxfordshire with a fine selection of cats, fulfilling her teenage gothic fantasies by moving into a converted chapel with an ancient spiral staircase—and gravestones in the garden."Dead funny.” -- Mark Beech
“Alice James raises the zombie genre from the grave, dusts it off and gives it a brand new lease of life.” - Jack Hayes

Toni Windsor is trying to live a quiet life in the green and pleasant county of Staffordshire—and failing! She’s a talented necromancer and only a decent estate agent, and that normal, quiet life is proving hard to find. Especially when there’s all the murders to solve. Whoever said raising zombies from the grave wasn’t a useful skill?
Then along comes trouble in the form of the stunning, dashing vampire Oscar who’s waltzed into her life, looking for a new mansion. He’s got looks, heaps of money, and an open slot in his coterie with her name on it. Maybe if she’s lucky she can bag a good commission and a nice boyfriend. But things are never as easy as they seem…
