Anyone's Ghost: Six Stories with Ghosts in Them

"These are not ghost stories, exactly. They are stories with ghosts in them."In Anyone's Ghost, the supernatural isn't malicious. It's just heavy. The six stories in this collection explore what happens when hauntings are stripped of their cinematic climaxes and left with nothing but quiet, indifferent persistence.From a basement in Philadelphia that patiently breathes in the dark, to a 1999 Indianapolis punk house where a child waits upstairs while something ancient occupies the cellar, to a freezing Maine cemetery where the dead offer practical, single-word directions - these are stories about the inertia of the afterlife and the people who simply have to live with it.There are no exorcisms here. No one saves the day. The ghosts in these pages are doing what they have always done, and the living are forced to decide what to do with what they've seen. Most of them decide not much.Atmospheric, deeply grounded, and unapologetically subtle, Anyone's Ghost is a literary horror collection for readers who know that the most unsettling things in this world aren't trying to scare you at all. They just are.
