(Coming Soon)

Mikey Fitzsimmons and his friends only went to St. Mary’s Cemetery to hang out and tell ghost stories. Mikey’s father, the gravedigger, had the keys to the mausoleums.

Fourteen-year-old Alice Arthur had drowned that past summer. Mikey invented her frightening legend to scare his pals. They made their way down: to open the heavy granite door, to move aside the mosquito netting, to creep up for a close look at the body.
They had no idea what they were to awaken down there.

Welcome to the Gravediggers’ Dance, where the music is dark and wild, and where anything can happen. Angels, devils, freaks of nature, vampires, ghosts, psychopaths, all joining in below a glaring full moon. Pick a grave-flower and join the other dancers. Tickets are available at the Cemetery gate from the dead-eyed poet. Don’t forget to sample the Postmortem Punch!
