Spirits of Suburbia: A Pop Seagull Anthology — Elizabeth Hirst

We've all read tales of heroes and monsters in far-away lands... But what happens when the strangest monsters are the ones next door? Rebekah and her family are coping with two issues: the first is her husband's death in a car accident. The second is his surprising return as a zombie. Will the Neimans keep their new, more clumsy Dad, or will they choose to say goodbye to him a second time? Zinnia has a weird skin problem that won't go away. She longs for an answer to the itching and the teasing, but the truth about her skin condition, and its cure, are far beyond the scope of any human doctor. Abby, a kind witch on the run, puts herself at risk of discovery by evil forces when she agrees to use her magic to help a desperate friend cleanse her bookstore of dark spirits. Will she be able to stay hidden, or will she be forced to confront her past? From authors Jennifer Bickley, Elizabeth Hirst, Ira Nayman and Tecuma Macintyre come a collection of seven stories that will leave you wondering if you can ever really know your neighbours.
