About
Morticians are, by all accounts, pretty damned interesting people. They possess the dexterity of doctors, the talent of artists, and just a drop (or maybe a gallon) of the macabre fascination with death that any good horror writer (or reader!) knows all too well. So, we thought, why not write about THEM? After all, we've all read our fair share of stories about the dead, why they died, and who killed them...but what about the people who deal with the aftermath? So that's what we want. Give us your tales of undertakers, morticians, coroners, either as heroes, villains, or just good hard working individuals trying to get a job done.
