Garrison Keillor

Clint Bunsen, one of the old reliables in Lake Wobegon, has run the Fourth of July parade for six years, turning the event into such as dazzling spectacle that it has earned the attention of CNN, but when Clint announces his run for Congress, the town remembers some unfortunate episodes of his life.

A wealthy and depressed Chicago man, bound for Christmas in Hawaii, is abruptly summoned home to North Dakota. He arrives just in time to be trapped there by a blizzard. During his stay, he reaches an epiphany worthy of the season and resolves to simplify his life.

"The town of Lake Woebegotten, Minnesota, is a small town, filled with ordinary (yet above average) people, leading ordinary lives. Ordinary, that is, until the dead start coming back to life, with the intent to feast upon the living. Now this small town of above average citizens must overcome their petty rivalries and hidden secrets in order to survive an onslaught of the dead." -- Publisher.
