The Secret Lives of Zombie Wives by Barbara Truelove (Pre-Order Feb 2nd 2027)

What happens when the perfect trad wife finally decides to eat the patriarchy?

Patricia is a reformed zombie, a wholesome lifestyle influencer, and the picture of domestic perfection. With the help of her husband, Ralph, she's built an online following around cooking, shopping, homemaking, and traditional values. Thanks to her antifungal medication, most people can even forget she's technically dead.

But Patricia's carefully curated life starts to crack when a zombie horde approaches the supposedly safe community where she lives.

As memories of her former life begin resurfacing, Patricia starts questioning everything she's built with Ralph. Maybe her perfect marriage isn't so perfect. Maybe the zombie horde isn't the terrifying threat everyone believes it to be. And maybe the creatures everyone fears are actually more beautiful—and more authentic—than the life Patricia has been trying so hard to maintain.

Soon, Patricia is ready to embrace her true self.

Unfortunately for Ralph, her newfound authenticity involves eating his brain on livestream.

The Secret Lives of Zombie Wives is an unhinged horror novella blending zombie apocalypse chaos with dark comedy, social satire, influencer culture, and domestic absurdity. Think Shaun of the Dead meets Martha Stewart—with a healthy dose of girl dinner and brains.
