But an outsider has learned all about the secret society: Plath, a fiercely beautiful young woman who has lost someone she loves to the darkest side of the city's nightlife. Ruthless and dauntless, Plath will stop at nothing to free her lover from Death's grasp...no matter what the price. Written by Caitlin R. Kiernan. Art and painted cover by Dean Ormston.

What does it feel like to be dead? Plath discovers that the answer to her girlfriend Evangeline's question may be far stranger than she had suspected. But nothing will deter Plath from seeking revenge on the secret society called the Cirque De Necrevores and reclaiming her lost love: not the disturbing changes in her own body, nor the vision of Petrefax and the Dreaming, and certainly not the enigmatic Eblis O'Shaughnessy, envoy of the Endless.
