A young girl named Temple is on the run. Haunted by her past and pursued by a killer, Temple is surrounded by death and danger, hoping to be set free.</b> <p/>For twenty-five years, civilization has survived in meager enclaves, guarded against a plague of the dead. Temple wanders this blighted landscape, keeping to herself and keeping her demons inside her heart. She can't remember a time before the zombies, but she does remember an old man who took her in and the younger brother she cared for until the tragedy that set her on a personal journey toward redemption. <p/>Moving back and forth between the insulated remnants of society and the brutal frontier beyond, Temple must decide where ultimately to make a home and find the salvation she seeks. <p/>"Alden Bell provides an astonishing twist on the southern gothic: like Flannery O'Connor with zombies." --<i>Michael Gruber, New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Book of Air and Shadows</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"If you loved Justin Cronin's <i>The Passage</i>, this summer's vampire hit, you'll get a charge out of <i>The Reapers Are the Angels</i>. It's a literary/horror mashup that is unsettlingly good." --<i>USA Today</i> <p/>"<i>The Reapers Are the Angels </i>is a knockout, a fresh take on the zombie novel, with a heroine you can't help but root for as she braves the land of the living dead and the dead living, pursued by a foe far more dangerous than flesh-eaters and with the beacon of redemption flickering ahead. Alden Bell will snatch your attention and keep it until long after you close this book." --<i>Tom Franklin, author of Hell at the Breach</i> <p/>"Alden Bell provides an astonishing twist on the southern gothic: like Flannery O'Connor with zombies." --<i>Michael Gruber, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Air and Shadows</i> <p/>"Alden Bell has managed something improbable and striking: a disconcertingly beautiful tale of zombie apocalypse. <i>The Reapers Are the Angels</i> is soaked in all the blood that any horror fan could desire, the effluvia rendered in a high Southern Gothic style as redolent of rotting magnolia as anything written by William Faulkner or Cormac McCarthy." --<i>Charlie Huston, author of Sleepless</i> <p/>"... This is a must-read for those who like their literature both brain-specked and philosophical." --<i>journalstar.com</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Alden Bell</b> is a pseudonym for Joshua Gaylord, whose first novel, <i>Hummingbirds</i>, was released in Fall '09.
