Some graves used to be opened twice.
A dead husband troubles his wife; a shepherd returns to the farm where he worked; an Icelandic household takes its unwelcome dead to court. Elsewhere, archaeologists uncover cut and burned bones, sickles laid across throats, and bodies buried face down.
The Dead Must Stay Dead explores the fear of returning corpses through medieval accounts, Icelandic tales and archaeological discoveries. It follows the people who sought help, the remedies they chose, and the questions their actions have left behind.
Illustrated with six public-domain artworks, this is the third volume in the Lore Lorn Chapbooks series.
