Who but modern master of outrage Clive Barker could create a poetic homage to the transgressive popular art of past master of scandalous effrontery Edward Gorey, as exemplified in his 1963 "children's alphabet book," The Gashlycrumb Tinies? Barker continues to carry aloft Gorey's deliciously dark banner of contrarian delights with his own Alphabet, which records the unfortunate happenstances befalling a motley collection of unfortunate souls.

Black Swallow is a Wraith - a species of ethereal being tasked with killing the chosen and taking them to the Nether Realm. The Wraiths are bound by three rules: to only kill the chosen, to only use enchanted weaponry, and never to intervene in the killing of a chosen, be it by fighting another Wraith or refusing the order to kill. Wielding an enchanted axe and known for killing without remorse or emotion, the once-human being now has no memory of his past. Until one day, a chosen human notices the invisible creature, and suddenly he begins to question his role and the strange rules forced upon the Wraiths by their leader - The Grandmaster.
