But I kept writing anyway because my husband had suggested “Write what you love,” and what I loved was the idea of surviving in a world that’s so irrevocably different from the one we live in now where the existence of the walking dead isn’t an accepted reality.īecause really, aren’t we all-teens and adults-still trying to figure out how to bring meaning to our lives amidst the chaos of the world around us? I just added zombies to that chaos to heighten the stakes and pinpoint that part of ourselves that yearns to do more than merely exist. Not only were there not a lot of zombie books being published, there certainly weren’t any set decades after the zombie apocalypse (that I knew of).

Or is death the only escape from the Return’s destruction?From the Hardcover edition.When I began writing The Forest of Hands and Teeth, I was pretty sure it wasn’t going to sell.
