Out of Salem

Fourteen-year-old Z survives a family car crash in the least reassuring way possible: by waking as a zombie. Once a talented witch, they now struggle to keep their decaying body together while familiar people recoil from what they have become. Aysel, another isolated student, is hiding a dangerous secret of her own as an unregistered werewolf. Their friendship offers refuge in a town that treats both of them as threats. When a local murder intensifies hostility toward supernatural residents, secrecy becomes harder to maintain and the risks of exposure rise. Together, Z and Aysel must navigate a community whose fear increasingly determines who is permitted to belong.
