Corrie and Kenneth Tyler, siblings living in rural Tennessee in the early 1950’s, suspect that the local undertaker, Fenton Breece, is doing horrific things to the dead.
Their suspicions are first roused by spying Fenton removing something from their father’s casket. Later, they find out that their father was not buried in the casket they had bought and find out Fenton is mutilating the corpses … and they have the pictures to prove it. A blackmailing scheme between the siblings goes horribly wrong and now Tyler wants to bring Fenton to justice, but first he must escape with his life.
What follows is an adventure and chase through the Harrikin, an eerie backwoods filled with the dark aspects of humanity. This book is not for the faint of heart. However, the poetic, haunted writing and the pervasive nature of evil will suck you into the story.
