I can't praise this enough. Not for kids, unless they're me. I read it at age 13. Zombies? Check, but they're spread sexually (AIDS). PTSD? Check. Vietnam vets. Abortion? Check. A main character needs one. Religious right? Double-check. Satanists? Sorta. Demonslaves, at least.

And the book fucking well rocks the house in. All about freedom. I love pre-stonewall gays. They're hard like me, having been raised atheist in a nondenominational theocracy.
