Undead or Breathing is the story of three rough-edged, thrill-seeking brothers in rural Colorado, whose world turns upside down when their parents contract a strange illness that makes them want to bite. Victims of the disease are uncoordinated and psychotic, their former thought processes narrowed down to just one phrase, which they repeat mindlessly in wheezy, rasping bursts. The boys have logged countless gaming hours shooting zombies. They’ve seen hundreds of zombie-related episodes on TV.

Meet Reed Lavender, a mostly-human detective with the uncanny ability to hear the final words of the dead. But on this case he’ll need more than his usual tricks to solve the murder of a teen runaway – he’ll need something that just might be more trouble than it’s worth – the help of his ragtag Reaper-cousins.

Things aren’t exactly getting easier for Reed Lavender. Old obligations and new cases are piling up but in the aftermath of Feronia’s defeat, answers are still too thin on the ground. But one clue–his father’s knucklebone–might just lead to something big. To learn the truth about his parents’ disappearance, Reed will have to take the fight to whoever is behind the growing turmoil in his city. And if the rising number of Spirit-Worms, needy Gods, vindictive lawmen and only somewhat-helpful cousins don’t stop Reed, then his sense of duty might do what the others cannot.

But summer in the city isn't going to be like the others. The city itself isn't quite the same either, and even if you're lucky (or cursed) enough to count the children of Gods among your friends, nothing is ever simple...
