Death is an industry on Sepulcra.
Across a vast funeral planet of neon cemeteries, skeletal steam trains, ash deserts, and gothic graveyards stretching beyond the horizon, entire cities survive by serving the dead. Professional mourners perform for the wealthy. Corpse sculptors are celebrities. Synthetic ghosts speak to grieving families. Priests read forgotten names into the night sky while ash couriers cross the stars delivering the remains of strangers.
But beneath the ritual and spectacle, something older is stirring.
A gravedigger hears the planet whisper beneath the soil.
A ghostwright accidentally creates something real.
Children living among abandoned tombs uncover a buried conspiracy.
A priest discovers millions of names erased from history.
And far beyond Sepulcra itself, an old undertaker journeys into the darkness to bury dying stars.
Darkly whimsical, haunting, and filled with strange humanity, Stories From Sepulcra* is a collection of interconnected tales about grief, memory, survival, and the people who make a living at the edge of death.*
Because on Sepulcra, nothing is ever truly forgotten.
And no one should face the end alone.
