Stepping out of the pages of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, the Dead Boy Detectives are thrust into the mystery of a lifetime. Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine were murdered at boarding school, but that hasnt stopped them from living out their dreams. While avoiding Death (literally) they enjoy a ghostly afterlife by reading mystery novels, watching thrillers, and hanging out in their clubhouse. Aspiring to the (un) life of a detective, the two will take on their first case and unwittingly fall prey to supernatural horrors galore and a life(less)long obsession with solving creepy, scary capers.
