As London is overrun by a plague known as the “Hungry Death” – a disease spreading rapidly among the surplus population – the poor turn into the undead and hunger unendingly.

Story/Spoilers
In part #1, “Stave 1: Marley’s Hungry Death”, Gather your family close, board up the doors, and heed well the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge – a man whom no fire could warm, whose cold heart pumped ice through his veins and whose lips uttered a firm “BAH!” to any sort of happiness. Learn from his experience as he is visited by the undead corpse of his old friend, Jacob Marley, on Christmas Eve. And join him on his journey to Christmases past aided by another corpse intent on showing Scrooge the origin of the Hungry Death consuming the land.

Next in part #2, “Stave 2: The Beginnings of the Hungry Death”, In continuation of our tale of woe, wherin thus far we’ve met one Ebenezer Scrooge, arich mann of cold heart and bitter tongue. Resolutely he refused all aid to those who suffered from a wasting – and dangerously spreading – sickness called he Hungery Death, and scorned the Christmas cheer of his nephew Fred, his only living kin. Alone at home the night of Christmas Eve, Scrooge was beset by the phantasmal form of his deceased business partner, one Jacob Marley. The restless and decaying spectre issued Scrooge the news that Ebenezer had doomed mankind to undying suffering by turning his black heart ever in upon itself. His only hope and ours was to heed the message of three ghosts to vist him, and to expect the first when the bell tolls one…

Next in part #3, “Stave 3: A Christmas Feast For The Presently Hungry Dead”, Having faced his past and learned the horrifying truth behind the Hungry Death, Scrooge is shown how deadly things have become on this very Christmas Eve by The Spirit of Christmas Present. London over-run. Tiny Tim infected. The surplus population is growing, and they are hungry!

Next in part #4, “Stave 4: The Last Christmas of Ebenezer Scrooge”, He’s faced the past and his role in the origin of the plague sweeping the land. The present is wrought with the Hungry Dead. And now, the worst stands at Scrooge’s doorstep – the Spirit of Christmas Yet To Come. What horrific visions does this specter hold and is there any hope for mankind short of Scrooge sacrificing himself? Zombies and ghosts collide around the man known as Ebeneezer Scrooge, the deadliest man in town.

Finally in part #5, “Stave 5: The End of It”, He’s faced his grim past, gruesome present and now his ghoulish future filled with fright. Can Ebeneezer Scrooge change his ways and undo the curse that’s destroying humanity? Forget next Christmas, if Scrooge fails, there won’t even be a tomorrow!
