Long known for stories that leaven supernatural elements with comedy, Vande Velde here forgoes the humor to present a set of ghost stories for readers who enjoy being really scared. The collection features an intriguing variety of characters, and all seven short stories concern one of the unquiet dead, back to finish important business with the living.
