From publisher blurb: The tall, dreary walls of Vaagwol nestle on the marshy edge of the Twyll River delta. Barely seen through the ever-present fog, the Hungry Dead continually claw at the village's stout stones; scratching and moaning a constant reminder to those trapped inside of the doom lingering outside their walls. Further walls divide the village inside to prevent the spread of the Craving. The residents scurry through narrow lanes, afraid to venture too close to fellow citizens, lest they be infected with the plague that turns them into the same shambling monsters that threaten from without.
