A freshly recovering serial killer should be the most frightening occupant of the abandoned Maron Cathedral, but when the bite-sized murderer and her gaunt brother move in with their recently departed baggage, the slew of souls already calling the sanctuary their home will do whatever it takes to scare the haunting new owners away.
The dead call Beezlebug to get rid of the pesky bloodbags—a job he uses to pass the time of his eternal gloom in the Afterworld. Dilapidated chapel in the middle of nowhere? His new gig practically spooks itself! That’s until he learns Maggie and Edwin Wayward don’t startle so easily, and he’ll have to pull out all the stops to scare this pair.
While lurking in the shadows, Beezlebug finds himself drawn to Maggie’s unusual shade of darkness and discovers he can use her cravings to barter for one of his own. Maggie realizes not all pests can be put to bed six feet under, and perhaps some bargains are required to keep the dead buried. What starts as a compromise to sate each other's urges turns into an internal inferno not even death can extinguish.
