awesome story! no, this isn't about zombies; its about modern-day grave robbers, their business, their long history, their creed and honor...and their smell.
Joey moves in with the dad he never knew after his mom's death, only to be mercilessly bullied at school by students and teachers, and to find out his robs graves for his meager living. His dad isn't uneducated, though, and is extremely well read, especially in his field. As macabre as it is, Joey wants his dad to teach him, and so his job--and coming-of-age journey--begins. There is so much more to the Diggers than he would have thought, and he finds strength in his bizarre education.
This is a fascinating and gory book that might be better not read during meal times. ;)
