Necromancers Don't Read Toe Tags

About the book

WHO NEEDS THE EPSTEIN FILES WHEN YOU HAVE THE ROOKFORD FILES? Every town has secrets. Some have entire institutions devoted to keeping them. Welcome to Rookford, where the truth is negotiable, the powerful protect their own, and the dead have an unfortunate habit of refusing to stay buried. Necromancers Don't Read Toe Tags is a darkly comic novel of cosmic horror, institutional secrecy, and the terrifying absurdity of ordinary human behavior. Behind the respectable facade of a seemingly normal community lies a machinery of concealment that has been operating for generations. Nobody wants to ask the wrong questions. Nobody wants to expose the wrong people. And nobody wants to discover what happens when the things everyone agreed to bury begin clawing their way back into the light. Blending supernatural horror with social satire, Thomas L. Vaultonburg explores how communities protect their reputations, how institutions preserve their authority, and how the appearance of normalcy can become more important than the truth itself. The Rookford Files are fictional. The human instinct to protect the powerful and silence the inconvenient is disturbingly familiar. Because every community has its own version of the files. And some secrets refuse to stay dead.
