Intense, gripping, and deeply haunting, Fraistat’s debut, an invigorating take on the zombie genre, is a cautionary tale about greed and sacrifice, illustrating that not every legacy may be worth its price. In their search, they uncover dark and twisted secrets about the founding farms’ history and realize that the blight is a living, conscious disease-and that it’s seeking revenge on Hollow’s End.
With her body rapidly decaying, she and Derek race against the clock to find her parents. She recruits ex-boyfriend Derek, white- and Latinx-cued, to help, but in her haste to hold off the blight, Wren is infected. As other founding farms fall to the blight, Wren works to keep the mold at bay in Rainbow Fields, especially when her parents suddenly disappear. But after 150 years of agricultural success, the small town suffers a moldy, silvery blight whose spores decimate crops, and turn humans and animals alike into zombified, night-wandering versions of themselves. Sixteen-year-old, white-cued Wren Warren is the heir to Rainbow Fields, a farm famously known for its healing, multicolored wheat fields and one of the four founding farms of Hollow’s End.
