Dead Rising.

Gerwig is the town executioner, this billet comes with perpetual scrutiny, like a curse. The life of a man such as he is tormented by ostracization, superstition, and ignorance by those around him. He is a bastion of the law but is treated as if struck with leprosy. To make things worse, there are dark things on the horizon, the pestilence is surging in France and Britain, and it's already creeping across the Rhine. Tales of horrid things and foul acts reach far and wide, and tensions grow dangerously thick. Something foul this way comes.
