The living may be a short distance from death, but the dead have their whole lives ahead of them. And the dead tell stories...
Alas, from Charus, the Acheron's Boatswain, who had heard many of these things... a lot!
Alexander the Great burns in the furnaces of hell and makes a deal with the Devil, a cynical man with an unlimited imagination, a private investigator and a case of necrophilia and a bunch of scary funny stories. Stories that the souls had told Varkaris, on the last journey of their lives. Read them, if it pleases you, and witness the funeral dialogues.
And I wish you, the day you take your last breath on this earth, the day your body becomes food for worms, the day your body dies and your soul faces the Boatman, that you have and you have something worthwhile to say to him. And I swear to you that if I accidentally hear it, I will sit down and tell your own story.
A fantasy book, in which the stories are listed exactly as told to us - confidentially - by the black-clad Varkaris.
