As dead men go, Ralph is lucky. He has found Specters Anonymous, the 12-step program that helps recent decedents break their addiction to sunshine and fresh air. Still, it's not easy. "You can lead a corpse to the cemetery," says one old-timer, "but you can't convince him it's his party." Ralph is determined to find out what happens after the afterlife. On his trek of posthumous self-discovery, Ralph is accompanied by Margie, a newcomer who believes her own death should be no impediment to joining the cast of a horror flick. And Edgar Alan Poe, who's trying to get one more poem published.
