A medieval zombie book with just a touch of Frankenstein. Once-Was-Willem is the creature Willem becomes after a sorcerer raises him from the dead. When he climbs out of his grave and the village runs from him in fear, Once-Was-Willem retreats to the woods in search of belonging.
It's a book about fear and being feared, what it means to be different, and what truly makes someone a villain. It is a wholly unique dark fantasy that plays on folklore and medieval storytelling to bring about something truly magical.
