You know things are bad when being dead is the BEST part of your day. Things have gone from rotten to, well, actually ROTTING for Sharon Backovic after her tragic wedding photo-related death. Now, she's got no job, no phone, no place to live, and absolutely no idea of what a zombie who's apparently STILL a Vegan should eat. . .
What The Critics Say "Jen Frankel does a wonderful job at delving into the psyche of a repressed main character who acquires personal liberty while being the living dead. Fun, silly, and intelligent too. . . I wouldn't advise reading it too fast or you might miss moments of subtle humour."
Kit Daven, The Other Castle
"Who knew a zombie could be vegan?! That's just one twist on movie version zombies in Jen Frankel's book Undead Redhead. . . Wonderful story, full of humour and great characters. If you like any type of zombie, this is a great story for you."
Lee A. Farruga, the Geeky Godmother
"Frankel is good at creating credibly absurd scenes. . . those who are looking for a fun, original take on the zombie sub-genre will find a very rewarding book."
Amazing Stories
"I would recommend this book to light horror fans (no gore alerts here!), those who enjoy some romance, as well as those who like comedic and ironic situations in their stories. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars."
Onlinebookclub.org
"4.5/5 stars. . . a delightful read. Funny and resonant of modern society in all its North American wackiness. I loved the satire in the story, sentimentally for the redhead in the pink bridesmaids dress (been there), but more intellectually for the fun poked at the pomp of weddings, the irrationality of internet sensations, the opportunism of the media, and the way humans can interact in crazy, unfeeling ways. All that said, the characters were realistic, and some were caring, compassionate people."

Jen Frankel is the author of the "Blood & Magic" series about young heroine Maggie Stuart. The first two books in the series, The Last Rite and The Red Ring, deal with Maggie at ages 13 and 16 respectively. The third (and penultimate), Heaven & Hell, will feature Maggie at age 23, living in Montreal and struggling with her powers and the challenges of life.
You can also read her YA sci fi fantasy novel Leia of Earth, a collection of award-winning short fiction Feral Tales, and more available on Amazon and at her official website. And of course, the tale of Toronto's favorite Vegan zombie, Undead Redhead.
Jen is also an avid screenwriter and an award-winning poet, as well as a great lover of fish, birds, cats, and all other living creatures. She even has a soft spot for human beings, provided they behave at least as well as their pets.
She lives and works in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, but you can count on her showing up all over North America wherever there are comic book conventions and online at www.jenfrankel.com.
