The Dead Series (Book 2): Dead Is All You Get - Plot & Excerpts
His rheumy eyes betrayed nothing. His wife, Caramel, thin and lithe with flowing white hair, expertly started a blood transfusion for Isaac, who lay still on a bed in a guest bedroom. The last time I’d seen these two, I’d been with my friends. We’d been searching for Holly and had come here for weapons. The old man and his wife had “dropped out” years before, living alone in the forest with their two adult sons, Frank and Jerry. It wasn’t till later I realized they were named after Frank Zappa and Jerry Garcia. This curious family grew marijuana and collected guns. Big guns. They were the poster children for aging, commune-tested hippies. Still deeply in love, Guthrie and Caramel never hesitated to share what they had with strangers, only asking in return to be left alone. Seeing these two again made me long for all the dead and gone. I watched as Caramel tended to Isaac. She appeared to have everything—even an IV pole to hang the bag of blood.
