Summary
"In Chilling, a coastal New England village, young Nora Pirrip has lost her entire family to a mysterious plague-like illness. After her recovery, while searching for the bodies of her family, she discovers a clandestine anatomy lab and primitive medical school on the very outskirts of the village. Had grave robbers taken her family? The stories of the other Chilling inhabitants intersect with Nora's quest: two gravediggers who murdered their father and now work as body snatchers; a family of four whose newborn daughter is killed and her grave robbed; and the inhabitants of Satus House, where doctors, servants, and a woman poet living upstairs all fight to keep their own secrets, even as Nora's persistent search disrupts all those around her."--Back cover.
