Based on the true story of a notorious gang of grave robbers who operated at Copenhagen's Assistens Cemetery around the turn of the nineteenth century, The Grave Robber is a gripping historical novel about honour, desperation and the price of survival.
About the Book
Christian Meisling's life is shattered after a devastating accident leaves him with an amputated foot, ending his career as a respected corporal in the Jutland Regiment. Unable to provide for his family, he is offered a position as gravedigger at Copenhagen's Assistens Cemetery—a job widely regarded as dishonourable, unpaid and socially outcast.
With no other way to escape the poorhouse, Meisling accepts. Together with his wife, Anne, and their growing family, he struggles to survive on the margins of society, where hunger, bitter winters and despair become part of everyday life.
Forced to bury the city's wealthiest citizens while his own children go hungry, Meisling refuses to surrender his dignity. Determined to reclaim his family's honour, he begins searching for a way out—one that will ultimately draw him into one of Denmark's most infamous criminal scandals.
Inspired by real events in eighteenth-century Copenhagen, The Grave Robber is a compelling historical novel that combines the tension of true crime with an intimate portrait of poverty, social injustice and one man's relentless fight for survival.

(The Grave Robber)
Author: Karsten Mungo Madsen
Artwork: Karsten Mungo Madsen
Genre: Historical True Crime · Horror · Graphic Novel
Age: 12+
Format: Hardcover, full-colour graphic novel
Extent: 104 pages
Publisher: Forlaget Fahrenheit (Denmark)
Publication Date: TBA
Logline
Copenhagen, 1804. Beneath the city's growing prosperity lies a dark and gruesome trade. What begins as grave robbing to survive soon develops into an organised criminal enterprise—until one of Denmark's biggest true crime scandals is finally uncovered.
About the Book
The Grave Robber is a graphic novel based on the true story of the notorious grave robbers who operated at Copenhagen's Assistens Cemetery at the end of the eighteenth century. Serving as gravediggers by day and robbing the dead by night, desperate men crossed the line between survival and organised crime.
Set against the backdrop of extreme social inequality, the story explores poverty, greed and justice in a society where the gap between rich and poor seemed impossible to bridge. It also brings to life one of the era's greatest fears: being buried alive—a widespread terror long before modern medicine could reliably determine death.
Blending meticulous historical research with atmospheric storytelling, The Grave Robber is a gripping true crime graphic novel that reveals a forgotten chapter of Danish history, where horror was all too real.
Based on the author's 2026 Novel
