In the cold, soot-stained streets of 1847 London, where fog rolls thick as guilt and the poor are buried as quickly as they’re forgotten, there lived a man named Dr. Marcus Whitmore — a physician once regarded with esteem, now consumed by debt, disgrace, and despair.
Haunted by failure and terrified of obscurity, Whitmore finds himself at the mercy of a visitor cloaked in smoke and shadow: Mr. Cinder. This stranger offers salvation at a cost far beyond coin. His proposal? Cadavers — fresh and unmarked — in exchange for a fortune that could restore the good doctor’s name.
What begins as a desperate transaction soon twists into something far darker. The more bodies Whitmore delivers, the more the city itself seems to recoil. The whispers from the morgue grow louder, the scalpel trembles in his hand, and the mirror refuses to show his reflection. Every soul sold fattens his purse but starves his humanity, until one night… the collector comes to collect what was truly owed.
Narrated by Hellvoice, the infernal chronicler of damnation, The Bone Merchant is the first inscribed story in the Scorched Scriptures, a cursed tome forged in Hellfire. Each episode burns with the essence of sin — greed, envy, pride — and the eternal truth that every transaction of the soul demands payment in the end.
As Hellvoice recites this tale of moral decay, the air crackles with judgment. The streets of London come alive with dread, the cobblestones slick with secrets and blood. The Bone Merchant is not simply a story of horror — it is a mirror for those who trade integrity for indulgence, those who believe they can bargain with darkness and emerge unscathed.
