Two Men. A Bitter Rivalry. And a Quarter-Century of Unspeakable Horrors. Herbert West's crimes against nature are well-known to those familiar with the darkest secrets of science and resurrection. Obsessed with finding a cure for mankind's oldest malady, death itself, he has experimented upon the living and dead, leaving behind a trail of monsters, mayhem, and madness. Dr. Stuart Hartwell, a colleague and contemporary of West, sets out to destroy West by uncovering the secrets
of his terrible experiments, only to become that which he initially despised: a reanimator of the dead.
