About the characters
Mist
Not a lot is known about this strange and powerful person. She first appeared as a leader of a tribe of an invisible shamanistic people in the book
The Mysteries of Mist.
She is elusive and cunning as well as motherly and caring. A note worth mentioning is that she is both the same person in
The Mysteries of Mist
and
The Ghosts of the Zombie Apocalypse
but she also is not, a detail that will be addressed in the sequel to
The Mysteries of Mist
.
Billy and Tom
A fun loving mischievous inseparable duo, these two seek dangerous adventure often to the cost of themselves. They also first appear in
The Mysteries of Mist
as consultants on an expedition to a jungle island. However they are not the same pair as the Billy and Tom in
The Ghosts of the Zombie Apocalypse.
Henrietta
A nurse in life and a story teller in death Henrietta is a kind hearted but stern woman who is just trying to make it in an afterlife that came all too soon to so many people in the zombie apocalypse. Yet there seems to be hidden talents laying in wait within for her to discover as she tries to break out of the rut that being dead does to people.
Mike (Story Master)
A struggling programmer in life turned story telling savant in death. His quick storytelling stile with attention to detail gave him a rich title and plenty of respect as he gets the best trades for good stories.
John
A luckless man who stays alive by staying out of everyone’s way yet danger finds him anyways. He has an odd form of invulnerability. Bad things keep happening yet with his odd luck nothing seems able to kill him. Most importantly he may or may not be dead already.

Like her mother did.

And only remembered because of a special plaque she had made with his name and address and the title "Your Son" hung conspicuously over the fireplace where she would see it every day and say in disbelief "Oh yea! I do have a son, don't I?" Some people are just born forgettable.
[3]
She meant philosophical
[4]
Henrietta wasn't always the best at knowing the right words to use even when she was alive
[5]
One of the perks to being a ghost is that windows, wall, and doors are an optional hindrance
[6]
Like phantom limb, where you experience a sensation that a severed limb is still there, but for the entire body
[7]
Did you think zombies survived on human flesh alone? Everything has to eat and humans are only plentiful at the beginning of the apocalypse.
[8]
Redundant, but he knew what he meant.
[9]
They were really quite good at remembering details, landmarks, and directions. That’s all they did all day.
[10]
If ghosts could blush, Henrietta would have been beet red.
[11]
You wouldn't find more venom in a snake than in the way he said “him”.
[12]
That brought a much needed smile to his face as he giggled. Of course someone who was indulgently inadequate enough to call themselves Master would defiantly be named Harry
[13]
Which is significant in her line of work
