The Healthy Dead is the second published novella in the Bauchelain & Korbal Broach series by Steven Erikson. Chronologically, it is set after The Wurms of Blearmouth and before Crack'd Pot Trail. The novella is also included in The First Collected Tales of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach.

Publisher's Summary

The city of Quaint's zeal for goodness can be catastrophic, and no one knows this better than Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, two stalwart champions of all things bad. The homicidal necromancers -- and their substance-addled manservant, Emancipor Reese -- find themselves ensnared in a scheme to bring goodness into utter ruination. Sometimes you must bring down civilization... in the name of civilization.
