Many generations have passed since the return, the time when diseased dead began craving the flesh of living human beings. Much of the world’s history has been forgotten and what is beyond the chain link fence that protects the village is only a forest of hands and teeth filled with the Unconsecrated who wait with an unrelenting hunger.
For Mary, who dreams of the ocean she once saw in an old photo, life in The Sisterhood awaits. But she has learned that The Sisterhood, who rule the village, have many secrets. When a stranger arrives by a forbidden path on a snowy eve and the Sisters hide her before turning her loose to the undead, Mary realizes there is life beyond the fences.
When the barrier is breached and the Unconsecrated overrun the village, Mary races toward the forbidden path. Will she find a world progressing, or will there only be more death and destruction?
Carrie Ryan’s debut novel The Forest of Hands and Teeth ends with a multitude of unanswered questions. But don’t fret; this is only the first in a three book-series. The second, The Dead-Tossed Waves, is scheduled for release in the spring of 2010, and the third is to follow a year later.
Diehard fans will be happy to know that Seven Star Pictures has purchased the movie rights “to do for zombies what Twilight did for vampires.” In the meantime, steer clear of the fences or you, too, may develop an insatiable hunger for The Forest of Hands and Teeth.
