Necromancers Anonymous

As a necromancer in court-mandated therapy, Xeron's among his own kind. The seven other masked wizards who join him in Necromancers Anonymous are equally addicted to the dark arts. From Spence, the timid and remorseful youth who accidentally raised the dead with his grandfather's magic wand; to Timothy, the group's cringeworthy and cripplingly self-conscious leader; to Ratface, the group's—well, whatever he is—each member brings their own bizarre psychology and origin story, and Xeron finds himself fascinated, repulsed, and curious to learn more.

When the skeleton of young Spence shuffles into their next meeting, murdered and raised from the dead, Xeron and the others launch an investigation to unmask the culprit. Who among them has relapsed? What's up with Ratface? How are Tim's jokes so bad? And who the hell is Larry? As the interrogations begin, the wizards turn on each other and accusations fly. Wading through a sea of red herrings and emotional instability, the group digs deep into their grave situation, determined to see the mystery through to the other side while still hanging onto their gallows humor.
