Get you some media that has a character coming back from the dead in the back of a refrigerated corpse truck and the driver is definitely going to sell the body for parts instead. And also get on Raya.

Here's the summary of Fabulous Bodies:

Fashion influencer by day and grave-robber by night, Poppy Stringer is on call when Eddie Michaels—a flamboyant, piano-slamming rockstar and queer icon—unexpectedly dies. All Poppy has to do is retrieve Eddie’s body from the medical examiner’s office, but what starts as a routine delivery quickly goes off course when Eddie wakes up. Poppy must fight for her life in a blood-soaked night of carnage and fabulous entertainment all across Palm Springs.

This is the part of the book that made me stop and make this post:

Every woman I meet is already dead, I think, but I don't say this part out loud. "I told you to get on Raya," he presses. "Or date one of your many fans."

If you prefer your black market corpse theft to be comedy instead (and also a podcast), then you've got this:

L’SOON: Wait, you were… dead, but now you’re not dead anymore. How is that possible? YOUNG DERF: Uh, don’t know why it happens, but, uh… I’m Derf. Um, I die and do backflips. What’s your name? L’SOON: I’m L’Soon. DERF: [appreciative] L’Soon… Wow. L’SOON: Hold on. I need to pull over. [flips turn signal] DERF: Oh— L’SOON: ‘Cause we’re in my—my truck. DERF: Oh, your truck. Wow. You’re drivin’ corpses around? L’SOON: Yeah, it’s a job. I take corpses over to the cemetaary where we bury the bodies. You must be from here ‘cause you’re dead here, but now alive here. [she laughs, forcefully] Jokes.
