In this darkly humorous tale, "death-positive" (raised by morticians) lesbian Megan, eighteen, begins leading ghost tours and discovers the company is "ghosting" (killing) the elderly so they leave "imprints" behind for the tour. Then Megan receives a startling warning from a 1920s-era ghost resembling herself. A ghoulish romp through Chicago's historical corners meets goth love(ish) story, this uneven novel never quite finds a satisfying path.
