Nuzzled deep in the backwoods of Maine, the town of Loganville has existed in relative peace and quiet since America's inception. But like every small town, there are secrets that lie buried just beneath the surface--things most people have chosen to forget or ignore. One day, Gwen Sinais hopes, this includes her and her mother--a crazed zealot that most people refer to as the Prophet of Loganville. Gwen has carried her mother's reputation with her for her entire life. The other kids shun her; their parents give her weird looks, and Gwen wants nothing more than to run away and never see another person again for the rest of her life. That is until, of course, she meets the mysterious boy who hangs out by the graveyard. She may even be attracted to him. But stranger things are happening around town . . . The town seems quieter than normal, except for the odd sounds people have been reporting. Bodies have been disappearing from the cemetery. A meteor has even fallen from the sky. As a steady mist starts to roll into town, and the prophet's fictions start sounding more and more like fact, the town begins to teeter on the edge of chaos . . . And that's when the zombies show up . . .
