Read Nancy Holzner's posts on the Penguin Blog. View our feature on Nancy Holzner’s Deadtown. First in a brand new urban fantasy series that's "fresh and funny, with a great new take on zombies" (Karen Chance) and "full of dangerous magic and populated with characters so realistic, they almost jump off the page" (Ilona Andrews).

They still don't have equal rights, and they're segregated into areas (such as "Deadtown" in Bos...
