I can’t explain it but this is like a horror novel with the flavor of a contemporary romance novel, and it’s really fun. Like, content/plot-wise it’s a horror novel, but the writing style is like a romance novel, and the vibes are very campy and light and also incredibly dark and gory, and it’s a blast. 
Anyway, this is small-town horror where the family who runs the funeral home has dark secrets and maybe sometimes the dead come back to life.
