Death and September

September's parents wanted her to have a normal life. Instead, she's having a very interesting death.

It's not easy having a 137-year-old super-scientist in the family, especially if your parents are socially mortified by all his years of costumed villainy.

But September needs at least one person who understands the weird, occult, downright odd things that happen to her far too often.

It's more than just antique furniture and unruly hair that gets passed on in this family. It's also a few uncanny abilities and a secret from the Cold War which everyone, including the Grim Reaper, is willing to kill for... which, if you think about it, as a pretty low bar for the bloke with the scythe - but still bad news for a teenage science dropout with only her local librarian and an encyclopaedic knowledge of heavy metal to rely on.

With a full cast of undead Elvis impersonators, demons, elderly super-villains, history's greatest monsters, knights, special forces commandos, witches, and guest appearances from fictional characters guaranteed to make the publisher's legal department weep.
