A Dandy Among the Dead

di Izzy Von (Autore)

Izzy Von, 2025

In the scorched ruins of post-Black Friday Texas, survival requires cunning, courage, and—if you're The Dandy—impeccable fashion. The Dandy is a glamorous, sharp-tongued, cane-wielding survivor who drifts from safe house to safe house, documenting the evolving horrors of the dead in her journal A Dandy Among the Dead. With her electric bike, velvet suits, war-cane, and zero patience for nonsense, she keeps to herself… until she stumbles into a suburban home and discovers two things she can't ignore: a living girl named Ash, and her undead but startlingly sentient brother Andrew. Ash has survived eight brutal months alone—losing her parents one by one, defending herself with knives, and clinging to the hope of reaching her grandfather in Louisiana. Andrew, meanwhile, is unlike any zombie The Dandy has ever encountered. He reads books, smiles, retrieves thrown knives, and most shockingly… he talks. The Dandy reluctantly accepts that these siblings need her, and agrees to escort them across the devastated state. But Texas is no longer simply overrun by z-boys. There are monstrous variants, feral hordes, and even stranger creatures lurking beyond the torn highways. The worst threats, however, are the living—hoarders, zealots, vigilantes, and violent extremists who've adapted far too well to the end of the world. When The Dandy confronts an armed predator who left Ash orphaned, the clash sets the tone for their dangerous journey. With Andrew hitched to a little red wagon, Ash on a bike with a backpack full of knives, and The Dandy leading with wit, style, and deadly expertise, the trio begin their trek toward an uncertain sanctuary. Along the way, The Dandy must face her own past—her wrestling career, the ex she's determined to avoid, and the trauma of losing her sister on Black Friday. As they cross Texas, facing cursed lands, abandoned cities, roaming hordes, and the constant tension between the living and the dead, The Dandy slowly becomes something she swore she'd never be again: responsible for someone else. Part action-horror, part found-family road story, and part unapologetically queer character drama, A Dandy Among the Dead is a stylish, brutal, and surprisingly heartfelt tale of survival, identity, and the bonds we forge when the world falls apart.
