Ghost stories tap into our most primal emotions as they encourage us to confront the timeless question: What comes after death? Here, in tales which are by turn scary, funny, philosophic, and touching, Kevin Brockmeier presents that question sharpened, split, reconsidered, and met with a multitude of answers. A spirit who is fated to spend eternity reliving the exact moment she lost her chance at love, ghostly trees which haunt the occupant of a wooden house, specters which snatch anyone who steps into the shadows, and parakeets which serve as mouthpieces for the dead: these are just a few of the characters in this compendium of one hundred ghost stories.
