The Man Who Washes Dead Bodies: Daniel’s First Night at the Mortuary

Daniel has lost almost everything: his parents, his education, his relationship and the little stability he had in Lagos. After years of surviving on meagre earnings as a mechanic, he hears of a mortuary job that pays ₦200,000 monthly. Terrified of corpses but desperate to escape poverty, he accepts the job at a private mortuary in Iyana Ipaja. He believes hunger is more frightening than the dead. But Daniel’s new workplace holds secrets he never expected. As unsettling events begin to blur the line between nightmares and reality, he may have to uncover the truth behind a killer before he becomes a victim himself.
