19th century justice has finally caught up to grave robbers Arthur Blake and
Willie Grimes. With the specter of the guillotine looming over him, young Blake
confides in visiting clergyman Father Duffy, recounting fifteen years of adventure
in the resurrection trade. His tale leads from humble beginnings as a young boy
stealing trinkets from corpses, to a partnership with seasoned ghoul Willie
Grimes as they hunt creatures unwilling to accept their place in the ground. The
colorful and peculiar history of Grimes and Blake is one filled with adventure,
horror, and vicious rivalries that threaten to put all involved in the very graves
they're trying to pilfer.
