Dead Lover is a hilarious, delirious, beautiful, horny, and wholly original Frankensteinian tale about the limits one Gravedigger will go to hold onto love.

A lonely Gravedigger reeks so strongly of corpses that she can’t attract a lover. She concocts fragrant perfumes in her workshop, but nothing can save her romantic prospects from her ghastly odor… Until one day, when Gravedigger meets Lover, an aristocratic dandy in town for his sister’s funeral. Lover is different: numb to the pampered palette of the aristocracy, his loins are downright aroused by Gravedigger’s morbid stank. Before long, Gravedigger and Lover begin a rapturous love affair, become engaged, and dream of starting a family. But suddenly, Gravedigger’s dreams are ripped away when Lover tragically drowns in a shipwreck – and all that is recovered is his severed finger, still wrapped in his engagement ring. Delirious with grief and enduring love, Gravedigger resolves to bring Lover back to life using only his ring finger.
