Morbid, PA is dying. Savage monsters and vengeful demons are commonplace in the ruined town, and the citizens can do little more than sit idly in a state of grim complacency. Until, that is, Victoria Gloom arrives and vows to show the people of Morbid what iron-fisted justice looks like. With the help of reporter Alan Feeble, Victoria must confront the horrors that haunt the town before they draw it and its people toward a fate worse than death.
