Zombies beware: Adele Griffin has 10 pounds of burning fury (cuteness?) on her side, plus a great mind for pie flavors.

Who and what would you bring with you for the zombie apocalypse?

I would bring my trusty 10 pound shih-tzu, Edith.

If you could spend a week in any book world, which would it be?

Edith Wharton’s New York City. House of Mirth, Age of Innocence. In a big hat.

What is the best word (in any language) and why?

Hugger-mugger. And it sounds like what it means.

Who are you most excited to see at YALLFest?

Everyone! And I will be missing my Picture the Dead co-author Lisa Brown. We did YALLfest last year, in Civil War Costumes. Maybe I’ll put on my mustache for one event.

What is your favorite flavor of pie?

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan. If that’s a flavor, I would pick it every time.
