Book excerpt: Without Death, What's Left to Fear? The Orpheus Group tells its clients that it has peeled back the mysteries of life and death. Its investigators can separate their spirits from their living flesh and interact with the ghosts and spirits caught, unseen but often felt, in our world. Rumors say that Orpheus even employs ghosts itself. Some call it hogwash and skullduggery, but Orpheus calls it market opportunity. Plenty Four novellas from exciting voices in contemporary horror peel back the layers of the Orpheus phenomenon. The investigators themselves are traumatized and wounded folks, existing in a world where their fears are made manifest. Worse still, digging into the lands of the dead may have awoken something from the unseen depths. Orpheus has made a profit on the afterlife, but it remains to be seen if anyone will survive to cash their paychecks.
