Bedtime Stories for Carrion Beetles
Description
Nineteen tales of horror, mystery, supernatural suspense, and the weird West.
A horde of insects invade one unfortunate man's stomach and make it their home, a blind woman guards a cavern full of Civil War-era zombies, and a troubled teen digs up her father's corpse, hoping to get some closure. Visit a macabre secret museum where taxidermy and classic literature combine, discover what a desperate mortuary assistant will do for love, and learn the sympathetic 'true' story of one of the most infamous assassinations in the Old West. Â
