The final volume. In "The Life of Death", a woman shaken by surgery becomes fixated on a church being torn down and the crypts beneath it. "How Spoilers Bleed" takes land grabbers into the Amazon, where one act of violence brings a curse. "Twilight at the Towers" is Berlin spycraft with werewolves. "The Last Illusion" introduces detective Harry D'Amour, hired to watch illusionist Philip Swann's body day and night until cremation, because demons are coming to collect. It closes with "On Jerusalem Street", a three-page postscript where a man is hired to fetch Simon McNeal's skin, circling back to the story that opened the collection.

In the story, the villain is Butterfield, a demon in human form. The film invents cult leader Nix and turns Butterfield into a human follower.
In the book, D'Amour's job is to watch Swann's body day and night until cremation, because demons are coming to collect on a deal. The film tells a different story with a different ending.
"On Jerusalem Street" is just 3 pages and closes the collection by circling back to the first story. It still framed Book of Blood (2009) and inspired the Bennett story in Books of Blood (2020).
