A hooded, disfigured young man is eating at a diner, being watched by a stranger. The stranger is Wyburd, who has been stalking the young man, Simon. Wyburd convinces Simon to join him in his truck, where Simon passes out and awakens strapped to a table. Wyburd offers him a choice: a slow death, or a quick and clean death by telling the story of the Book of Blood, series of scars and inscriptions carved on Simon from head to toe.
