Let the Dead Bury Their Dead

A three-year-old boy begins to deliver messages from dead relatives. A zombie uprising is led by an evil preacher. A woman is haunted by a child her husband may have drowned. A pig talks. The twelve stories in Let the Dead Bury Their Dead embody the type of fiction that defined Randal Kenan's career. Set in the thinly veiled fictional North Carolina town of Tims Creed, they follow a diverse cast of Southern folkways and stare into a long shadow of history.
