Funeral Song (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781639512294)

No one mourns the living dead.

In the remote town of Cairney, a gift from the Angel of Death allows the dead to miraculously return to life -- after a fashion. For Friede Inkerman, pianist to Cairney's sacred funerals, Death's gift is a curse, not a blessing. All she wants after being murdered by her wife and resurrected against her will is to finally rest in peace, free from the grief that ostracizes her from the rest of her death-worshipping town.

On Allhallowsmas, Friede's hope of passing on to eternal rest is dashed when Death's gift is stolen and the acolyte who guards it murdered, putting all the dead souls in Cairney at risk of fading into oblivion at sunset. Friede also can't ignore how much the murder resembles her own.

Clinging to her last happiness, her oldest friend Bastian, Friede races to set things right and see her last wish granted. But Cairney is a town where nothing stays buried, and Friede's search for answers unearths new horrors that threaten everything she holds dear to her dead heart.

A wrenching, elegant work of supernatural horror about a devout small town's reckoning with death and the love that transcends it. Perfect for fans of Mike Flanagan and Caitlin Starling.
