Sir Alistar Lachlan Wintry IV just wanted to be a necromancer, like his mother before him, and is willing to become the God Limbo’s servant to make it happen. But when a ghostly apparition steals both his cookbook and his ingredients, Alistar is forced to quickly recreate his recipe to raise the dead—or risk losing the thing he loves the most.

The Joy of Necromancy is a dark comedy novelette with themes surrounding family trauma, grief, and forgiveness. It is the recipient of an Honorable Mention from the Writers of the Future contest.
