Jackie Clay je hrobárom na malom cintoríne v Meste snov, ktorý sa stará o svojich mŕtvych a rozpráva sa s nimi. Keď dôjde ku kríze, zistí, že má priateľov, o ktorých sa mu ani len nesnívalo.
“Having done two strong, serious, intense stories, I kinda wanted to write something a bit lighter, more redemptive, with a touch of humor. A guy who works at a cemetery and talks to the residents brings in response a logical question: do they talk back, and if so, what do they say? It’s a story about friends, polite behavior, and the anger of the dead.”-JMS
