Publisher's Synopsis
The time is the American Civil War, the place is Louisville, Kentucky where a notable physician and professor at a medical school becomes in need of cadavers for student studies. Offering high wages for acceptable corpses, Doctor Theodore Finch hires an old ignorant and destitute man, Johnathan Brooks, and his young wife, Theda, to remove the enemy dead from local battle fields. Upon the thirty-first of October, and during a full moon, the body snatchers, the doctor, and his students learn that the dead are not always at peace.
