Description
Vivi and Eva are two travelers in a countryside filled with the undead. After a train breaks down, stranding them between safe zones, the young women partner up to stay alive. Vivi is struggling with grief—and guilt—over the loss of her sister. Eva is hiding the start of a horrifying transformation. Together they'll face heat, zombie hordes, and their own inner demons, searching for signs of life in a land of the dead. This graphic novel addition to an enduring genre is thoughtful and emotion-driven, but also full of zombie scares and action.

" . . . Vieweg offers an art-house take on a normally gory and typically action-packed subject . . . A melancholic but multicolored apocalyptic tale told with originality." —Kirkus Reviews
"Both thoughtful and terrifying, and an unexpected take on a familiar premise."—School Library Journal

Featured Reviews
A beautifully illustrated book about friendship and protecting those you love, even in the hardest of times. Ever After not only gives a new look into dystopian literature but it provides a fresh lens on what that could mean to us as humans. Most importantly, what makes us humans alive?
Really interesting zombie graphic novel. A lot of the tropes of the zombie genre are here, but it was made fresh by the art style which is very cute and cartoonish which makes for a really unsettling contrast with the depressing post-zombie apocalypse society and the outbreaks of violence. The themes of loss (and how we deal with it) and friendship were also interesting, as were the biological/ecological implications of this strain of the zombie plague.
Woo this was haunting. Incredibly simplistic in language but the imagery carried the plot and emotions that the really brief dialog did not. I do not usually read zombie stories but this one had an intriguing cover and a shockingly hopeful tone through the young protagonist.
