All I can remember about it was it was a horror book about a kid thatvwas being chased by a zombie of a criminal. I think the criminal was executed and came back to life in the funeral home?

I swear that sounds familiar. Do you recall if it was a whole book or a short story?

If it was a short story, maybe look up and see if it was in one of those "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" books.

I honestly can't recall. It seems like it was a whole book. I think the zombie still had on the prison orange coveralls and it seems like there was some kind of trap involving a fishing rod?

I still think I know what you're talking about, but can't place it. And now it's going to bug me. lol.

If I think of it, I will definitely reply back.
