You are Christopher Phillips, previously just another teenage nerd living in a small English town, and a lot of things have changed in your life since you died.

You're starting to learn a few things about your new condition. and about the things lurking under the surface of this ordinary-looking school. You're making new friends, one of whom has been proving herself very useful indeed. You've learned some worrying things about Isabella Donaldson, the school queen who invited you to a party she's throwing tomorrow night. And you're starting to master the dark hungers that keep gnawing at your soul.

Despite everything that's changed, though, you're fairly sure the screaming and shouting coming from next door is not a good sign.
