Edwin Paine and Charles Roland have a lot in common – they’re both English schoolboys who love a good detective story, and they’ve been known to dabble in mystery-solving themselves. They’re also both dead, a condition which has proven to be less of a hindrance than one might think.

From the pages of THE SANDMAN, Neil Gaiman’s intrepid dead schoolboys head back to the horror that is St. Hilarions School; the place where they both were murdered. This volume collects Toby Litt and Mark Buckingham’sDead Boy Detectives #1-12, as well as well as the short stories Run Ragged fromWitching Hour#1,Ghosts#1 andTime Warp#1.
