Why am I fascinated by corpses?

Dear reader, this book is for the dead only.

Piccini is an epic of deep psychological horror, dark, philosophical, scary, crazy, gloomy. The word "Piccini" is an old Italian word given to an unknown group called the Piccini, a group tasked with collecting dead bodies from the side of the road during the plague or the Black Death spread with the World War. While our hero calls himself Piccini because his favorite talent is collecting dead bodies in his house, embalming them and taking care of them, "Shadow" sees himself as a superhero for the dead and believes that it is not fair to abandon the dead underground in graves. Shadow dreams of collecting as many bodies as possible. However, Shadow does not kill, he is not a monster. On Shadow's dark journey collecting bodies from everywhere: from graves, from the street, from the morgue, from the morgue. One day, everything changes when Shadow buys a body from an unknown location. When the body arrives, he is surprised that it has no features! Then, Shadow's life begins to turn upside down, and he lives his worst nightmares between his terrifying past, his suspicious childhood, and his future.

What is the secret of this corpse, who does it belong to, and to which abyss of hell will it drag our hero, "Shadow", into?
