A bone-chilling modern horror about a Haitian American girl who uses her previously hidden zombie abilities to enact revenge on the wealthy elites who’ve caused her family pain.



Brielle Petitfour loves to cook. But with a chronically sick mother and bills to pay, becoming a chef isn’t exactly a realistic career path.



When her mom’s boss gets killed in a hit and run, washing their financial stability down the drain, Brielle manages to win over the rich families who employ them when they taste her one-of-a-kind meals. Everyone praises her for their unique flavors and textures, which keeps everyone guessing what’s in her dishes. The secret ingredient? Human flesh.



Written by the storytelling duo, Maika and Maritza Moulite, THE SUMMER I ATE THE RICH is a biting, smart new fantasy inspired by Haitian zombie lore that scrutinizes the socioeconomic and racial inequity that is the foundation of our modern times. Just like Brielle, THE SUMMER I ATE THE RICH will have you asking: What’s for dinner?
