La guerre totale opposant des créatures surpuissantes entre dans sa phase finale, balayant planètes et soleils comme fétus de paille. Les robots klikiss ont longtemps prétendu être les amis de l'humanité, pour mieux implanter un cheval de Troie. Leur plan laisse la Ligue Hanséatique terrienne sans défense et menace toute vie humaine dans notre Galaxie. Pour sauver son propre peuple, le Mage Imperator des Ildirans doit signer un pacte diabolique avec les hydrogues, qui l'obligera à éliminer le dernier carré des humains.

À travers tout le Bras spiral de notre galaxie, les hydrogues poursuivent leur guerre destructrice contre l'humanité et contre leurs adversaires ancestraux : les faeros et les verdanis. Un conflit qui éteint des étoiles et tue la vie sur des planètes entières. Mais les humains restent divisés. À la tête de la Ligue Hanséatique terrienne, le président Basil Wenceslas s'obstine dans sa persécution des clans de Vagabonds. Les choses ne vont pas mieux dans l'Empire ildiran, où le Mage Imperator Jora'h doit faire face à une rébellion sanguinaire lancée par son propre frère.

In the Unnatural Quarter, golems slave away in sweatshops, necromancers sell black-market trinkets to tourists, and the dead rise up—to work the night shift. But zombie detective Dan Shamble is no ordinary working stiff. When a local senator and his goons picket a ghostly production of Shakespeare in the Dark—condemning the troupe’s “unnatural” lifestyles—Dan smells something rotten. And if something smells rotten to a zombie, you’re in serious trouble….

Dan Shamble, zombie PI, is on the case, trying to stop an all-out gang war between full-time and full-moon werewolves. As he combs through the tangled clues to hunt down the bald facts, things get hairy fast. Shamble lurches through a loony landscape of voodoo tattoo artists, illicit cockatrice fights, body builders assembling make-your-own human kits, and perhaps scariest of all, crazed fans in town for the Worldwide Horror Convention. Yet the reign of hair-raising terror grows longer. If Shamble can't snip this off at the roots, the whole world could end up howling mad.

Even being murdered doesn’t keep a good detective down, and in the Unnatural Quarter—inhabited by ghosts, vampires, werewolves, mummies, and all sorts of creatures that go bump (or thud!) in the night—a zombie PI fits right in. Dan Chambeaux, aka “Shamble,” solves a string of madcap cases with his ghost girlfriend Sheyenne, his Best Human Friend Officer Toby McGoohan, and his firebrand lawyer partner Robin Deyer.

When Howard Phillips Publishing announces the 12 + 1 anniversary edition (due to unavoidable production delays) of the famed Necronomicon—the very book that caused the Big Uneasy in the first place—it takes zombie P.I. Dan Chambeaux, a.k.a. “Shamble,” to root out the diabolical schemes surrounding the book, and the fanatics who wish to destroy it.
