In the cold, dark winters of Salem, Massachusetts, in the late eighteenth century, the ground was hard and frozen. Undertakers were forced to store the bodies of the deceased in cold winter morgues until the spring thaw. This is the story of one such morgue. The owners are a mysterious woman, who is rumored to be a witch, and her odd consumptive brother, who has unusual proclivities. As the corpses arrive, one by one, the reader meets the people who work there, friends of the owners, and those who end up there as corpses. As their stories intertwine, the reader finds an intriguing mix of unusual personalities and disturbingly frightening supernatural activity.

Not normally a reader of the genre, I came across this book through serendipity and I must say that I enjoyed the stories it had to tell very much!It is written in chapters, and every one through the first person narrative of a resident of Salem, Massachusetts, in the eighteen hundreds, and all involve in one way or another the siblings who run the winter morgue -- where corpses are kept throughout the winter until spring, when the ground finally thaws.
The stories somehow reminded me of Sherwood Anderson on absinthe with some kind of beat coming from the ground below, do you hear that, through the cracks of the floor?, maybe Sherwood Anderson writing stories for John Carpenter if instead of making films John Carpenter was the owner of a horror publishing house.
Some stories deal with vampires, others with witchcraft, necrophilia, characters mask themselves in the shape of animals, there is tuberculosis and voodoo and gravediggers and hearse drivers and seraglio rooms, characters may suddenly go blind or be taken to mental institutions or straight to death.
The stories are written simply and well and it's a fairly quick read!
One of my favorite lines:
"What will become of me is yet to be determined, but if the evil spirits are lurking in the gambling dens and houses of ill repute, the haunts of the wealthy and debauched, they will never find me."
Recommended!
