Fifteen-year-old Megan Berry is a Zombie Settler by birth, which means she's part-time shrink to a bunch of dead people with a whole lot of issues. All Megan wants is to be normal and go to homecoming, of course. Unfortunately, it's a little difficult when your dates keep getting interrupted by a bunch of slobbering Undead. Things are about to get even more complicated for Megan. Someone in school is using black magic to turn average, angsty Undead into flesh-eating Zombies, and it's looking like homecoming will turn out to be a very different kind of party the bloody kind. Megan must stop the Zombie apocalypse descending on Carol, Arkansas. Her life and more importantly, homecoming depends on it.

WHAT'S MORE PATHETIC THAN HAVING A FAKE BOYFRIEND? SECRETLY WISHING HE WAS A REAL ONE. Pom squad tryouts are well underway, bloodthirsty zombies are still in too-abundant supply, someone has it in for Megan's homecoming date and The World's Most Perfect dress, and Megan is stuck with a tutor-babysitter-bodyguard who has decided the only way to protect her is to pretend to be her boyfriend. And what's the only thing more pathetic than having a fake boyfriend? (Secretly wishing he was a real one.) Megan's crush on Ethan is reaching deadly proportions, but so are the zombie attacks in Carol, Arkansas. Are her skills ready to take on her biggest, scariest challenge yet? Or will she falter in the face of a triple dose of Undead trouble? Smells like Zombie Spirit was originally published as part of the full length novel You Are So Undead to Me in 2009. It has been extensively revised for re-publication in SERIAL format.
