Something with the power to conjure up ghosts from David?s past and make them real. Something Janine knows from her near-death experience.

Charles de Lint

“Golden delivers...good, old-fashioned storytelling with a contemporary sensibility. There’s no lack of tension, and he doesn’t back away from the consequences of the darkness he has set upon his characters.”

Poppy Z. Brite

“A compulsive read, one I finished in a single sleep-deprived night. The characters are easy to care about, the story unpredictable and involving.”

Don D’Ammassa

“Low key but quite effective horror.”

Publishers Weekly

“An intelligent, compelling ghost story in the classic horror tradition...Superior characterization, an exquisitely detailed setting and superbly orchestrated suspense.”

Fangoria

“Tight, focused and almost claustrophobically intimate.”
