What: “Marley was dead, to begin with…”—and what happens to EbenezerScrooge’s mean, sour, pruney old business partner after that? Chained andshackled, Marley is condemned to a hellish eternity. He’s even given his ownprivate tormentor: a malicious little hell-sprite who thoroughly enjoys his work.Desperate, Marley accepts his one chance to free himself: To escape his ownchains, he must first redeem Scrooge. So begins a journey of laughter and terror,redemption and renewal, during which Scrooge’s heart, indeed, is opened; butnot before Marley—in this irreverent, funny and deeply moving story—discovershis own.
