This town ain't big enough for the living and the undead...The dead have risen, and undesirable as they are, the leaders of the free world have placed them behind a wall.
Jon Gilligan is the only living man in a city of the undead. It's his job to keep the peace between factions of walking corpses and disembodied spirits. The workload is driving him a little insane, leading him to take on the persona of a noir detective.
He narrates his adventures, casting himself as a hero to all those under his watch.
When the local Necromancer conspires behind his back, it's time for him to be a hero for real.
Teaming up with a ghost and a woman they both love, who lives outside the walls, it's up to the three of them to save London's Dead City from itself.
If you like Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams, you'll love Dead City.
