When teenagers Kenneth and Corrie Tyler venture to their father's graveside they make a horrific discover: their father is not buried in the casket they bought for him. The undertaker, Fenton Breece, has been grotesquely manipulating the dead. Armed with incriminating photographs, Tyler must outrun Granville Sutter, a local strongman and convicted murderer hired by Fenton to destroy the evidence. What follows is a desperate pursuit through eerie backwoods filled with tangled roads, rusted machinery, lost families and witches, and the most compelling Southern gothic novel of the year.
