When peace finally settles over the French Quarter, Princess Erika Lynn Buttercup dares to believe New Orleans might actually sleep through the night without a haunting. Then her stepson Jaden Rain teleports into Café du Monde shouting two words that ruin breakfast — “Space. Zombies.” Now, the Buttercups are trading beignets for battle plans. Erika and her cyber-scarred husband Mike lead the charge through fog-soaked streets, joined by their sarcastic children Madi and Austin, the bulldog Mabel (whose sweater still says Death to Mailmen ), and a pair of reluctant heroes: Jaden, the tech-savvy warrior who never met a plasma coil he couldn’t overthink, and Cameron, a steampunk sharpshooter who treats chaos like a sport. As cosmic infection spreads through mirrors and moonlight, New Orleans becomes a battleground of brass, blood, and jazz. To save their city—and Mike’s soul—the Buttercups must face something far worse than monsters from the stars: the ghosts of their own pasts. Romantic, irreverent, and gleaming with pastel-goth heart, Princess Erika Lynn Buttercup and the Space Zombies of New Orleans proves one thing: even in the apocalypse, family comes first—and sarcasm is sacred.
