From Matt Shaw comes a new twisted body horror to get under your skin!
Carol McCoy has spent years working in a funeral home, surrounded by the quiet certainty that every life ends the same way. Day after day, she prepares the dead for their final goodbye, and the constant proximity to death has drained the color from her own life. Why get excited about anything when it all leads to the same inevitable ending?
But one quiet afternoon, while Carol is working alone, the impossible happens: one of the newest arrivals on the embalming table suddenly sits up...
Confused, pale, and with no memory of how he died, the man should be a miracle. Instead, he’s something far worse. Beneath his bewilderment lurks a violent hunger; an uncontrollable craving for human flesh.
As the situation spirals beyond anything she could have imagined, Carol finds herself trapped between the living and the dead, forced to confront a nightmare that shatters everything she thought she understood about mortality. If death was supposed to be the end… what does it mean when it isn’t?
Darkly unsettling and laced with grim humuor, this chilling novella asks a terrifying question: What if death isn’t the worst thing that can happen to you?
