Oliver was always a jerk. Now that he’s dead, he’s downright terrifying.

Augie Doyle eats, sleeps, and breathes horror. Vampires? Real. Werewolves? Absolutely. Zombies? Don’t get him started. His best friend, Ethan, thinks it’s all nonsense—until Oliver Hackl shows up to school.

Five days ago, Oliver fell off the Old Mill Bridge and broke his neck. The paramedics pronounced him dead. Now he’s back. Pale. Slow. Wrong. Augie’s convinced it’s the zombie apocalypse. Ethan’s sure there’s a logical explanation.

Then Oliver’s friends start dropping like flies.

One vanishes, only to reappear hollow-eyed in the woods. Another ends up in the ICU, veins blackened. And the creepiest part? Every time one of them gets sick, Oliver gets better.

Now Augie’s obsessed. This isn’t just a mystery—it’s a full-blown horror movie playing out in his town. And if he’s right, Oliver isn’t just undead, he’s feeding.

The body count is rising. The clock is ticking. And Augie Doyle might be the only one who can stop a monster.

Equal parts chilling and laugh-out-loud funny, Augie Doyle and the Dead Boy is a gripping supernatural thriller with a twist of dark humor. Perfect for fans of Goosebumps meets Stranger Things—if you’re brave enough to turn the page. One click, and you’re in Hollowbrook High… if you dare.
