Emporium. The boys lope into the dining room behind Bobby's wheelchair to find a pert and perky ash blonde setting the table, and yep, you guessed it: It's Bobby's long-ago slaughtered wife "Karen" back from the dead, and I have to admit that she's looking pretty good for a reanimated corpse.

The three bicker for a lengthy period of time, with Bobby of course strenuously defending his zombie bride's honor, and when the bickering finally tapers off, we arrive at the long-awaited exposition dump. Seems fifteen or twenty previously dead residents of Sioux Falls somehow rose from their graves a little less than a week ago to pick up their lives where they'd left them off, even though several of those previously dead town residents had been cremated, like Mrs. Bobby. These zombies have no scars, wounds, or reaction to typical implements of demonic destruction like salt or silver or holy water, but their arrival was presaged by a series of violent lightning storms, and Bobby did find an ominous passage in a variant translation of The Book Of Revelation which reads as follows:
