Some men are called to comfort the grieving. Elias Vane was called to the dead.
For decades, Elias has served his quiet town as its most trusted mortician. Calm, precise, and unfailingly gentle, he prepares the dead with a reverence few people understand. To grieving families, he is a blessing - the man who restores peace to the faces of those they have lost.
But Elias is growing tired of waiting.
Funerals are becoming rare. Mourning has become rushed. The living are loud, careless, and crude. To Elias, death is not an ending. It is a sacred correction. A final, honest form. And when the world stops delivering bodies to his table fast enough, Elias begins to believe fate needs help from a steadier hand.
At first, he tells himself he is choosing carefully.
The cruel.
The corrupt.
The people whose absence might improve the rooms they once polluted.
But with every body he prepares, the line between mercy, artistry, and murder begins to rot. And when a sharp young apprentice starts noticing the cracks in his perfect composure, Elias must decide how far he will go to protect the work he believes he was born to do.
Dark, elegant, and deeply unsettling, The Mortician is a psychological thriller about obsession, loneliness, and the terrifying intimacy of a man who loves the dead far more than the living.
For readers who enjoy slow-burn horror, morally twisted protagonists, gothic atmosphere, and chilling psychological suspense.
