Hayley's morbid curiosity

Ever since Hayley Campbell was a little girl she has been fascinated by death. Her father was the comic book artist behind the classic graphic novel, From Hell, and oftentimes his violent drawings of murder and death would be lying around the home, and Hayley would use discarded drafts as scrap paper for her homework. As she got older, Hayley became more and more curious about the invisible people who work in the death industry, and so she set about uncovering that secret society. In the process, Hayley has helped dress a dead man before his funeral, examined death masks, a frozen body and an embalmed head, slowly coming to terms with her own mortality and that of the people she loves.
