Lloyd-Jones ( The Hearts We Sold, 2017, etc.) gruesomely describes the undead, called bone houses, with their rotting flesh and unseeing eye sockets-yet the mood never gets too dark thanks to a tenacious and strangely adorable undead goat along with some mild romantic tension.
Through a forbidden forest teeming with monsters, together they look for a mythical cauldron that will end the curse of the risen dead.
