What Moves The Dead Novels & Stories

But the dead ground had stopped being something we could run from. The edge of it moved... the line where the living country stopped and the dead ground began, the line we'd crossed going in weeks ago, that line came toward us. The cold came off it. And in the cold, the old dead stirred... the ones Maren had named when we first passed this way, the bones of everyone who'd ever tried to close that door and failed, lying where they fell.

She had escaped from the crypt. "He's not dead! He's not dead!" Daphne threw herself onto the coffin, pounding on the lid like a woman possessed, her voice so shredded it was barely human. "Stellan isn't dead! He's not dead! He's not dead! You can't bury him! He's really not dead!" The chapel erupted. Everyone stared at Daphne in shock, then at the coffin, then at each other.

On the day I went to court to declare you dead, I deliberately delivered the good news to your mother. Who would have thought that she'd be so frail? She passed away due to a heart attack." Nora did not have an ounce of pity on her face, only provocation.

But I don't need to know everything that I would give him what he deserves. -"You are not very talkable aren't you?" Lilliana was watching me from my feet to my head she sipped her tea but her eyes never left me. My one finger still kept her curtains but my head turned to her. I wasn't used to talking to anybody. I didn't see a purpose in talking. The conversation is needed only for mortals and for dogs. We the dead ones don't need anything only our life and blood. And still, her breaking silence with this question made me smile. Her voice sounded ironic which was making her cute again.

Thirty simple seconds tick-tocked on by, and despite the electric crackle of expectancy in the air, Mama Metcalf remained well and truly dead. Even her blood had stopped flowing, ruby diamonds on a cigarette-butt strewn patch of land. The old woman across from her, Wanda Mabry, would also never move again. Her index finger was curved inwards as though still depressing an invisible trigger that shot invisible bullets of hatred at a sky that would never die. Sirens sung in the distance. When the hospice alarm was activated an automatic call out was prompted to the f

They tore through the army of the dead, but that was the thing. You couldn’t kill what was already dead. No matter how much they slashed, bit, tore, they still moved. This wasn’t something that could be killed by the natural, but the supernatural. Channelling my energy, I harnessed just enough to form a beam of light. “Move!” I yelled. On seeing the two balls of light in my hands, Ragnar and his men jumped out of the way and I blasted through the air my, their flesh and bone turning to ashes.

It was propped against a tree, its head tilted just enough to force anyone walking by to look it in the eyes. Kael stared at the dead man for a long time. Then he looked past him into the trees. “You see something?” Rylan asked. Kael didn’t answer immediately. He was measuring the distance. “They’re facing forward,” he said. “What?” Donovan asked. “All three of them,” Rylan realized. “Their bodies. The way they’re set.” “They were moved,” Lilith added. Donovan let out a harsh breath. “For what? Some kind of warning?”
