Welcome to the world of master fabulist Edward Morris, where History has been pulled down a Hieronymus Bosch rabbit-hole and everything makes far too much sense.  In Morris’s alternate history tour de force, on an East Coast two centuries after Armageddon, a rogue soldier throws himself back in Time to wreak havoc upon History and feed on the blood in the streets.  He lands in the New World with the first white settlers.  The Irrakwa try to stop him.  And from two centuries ahead, the law tries to follow him back . . . 

In Death, Inc., Book Zero of the series, someone is tattooing a wide, rambling story on the skins of people living at the margins of Powersburg, Pennsylvania.  The identity and agenda of the artist is anybody’s guess.  But as more and more of them turn up in the County Morgue, the Deputy Medical Examiner is beginning to put the pieces together.  And no one is going to like what he finds.

Note: Death, Inc. contains some harsh language.
