For years, the craft has traveled in Ravenloft, unopposed by the sinister beings that rule over the Dark Domains. When the boat arrives at the zombie-plagued island of Souragne, however, the crew finds itself dancing to chilling music indeed. After discovering the captain’s sinister secret, Larissa must rely upon the creatures of the swamp—and her mastery of the magical Dance of the Dead—to save her own soul.

This was probably the weirdest book I've ever read.
Like honestly, I really didn't know that I was in for a novel about a musical-theatre actress saving talking animals from zombies in a haunted swamp by using the magical powers of her dancing, but that's what I got and it was actually really good.
Pacing was a struggle at the very start, but once the story gets going, it really gets going.
Dance of the Dead was a super unique book with memorable characters and a great plot. Had a few awesome horror moments as well which I thoroughly enjoyed.
