Under the Whispering Door is a contemporary fantasy with TJ Klune's signature "quirk and charm" (PW) about a ghost who refuses to cross over and the ferryman he falls in love with. When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead. Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop's owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over. But Wallace isn't ready to abandon the life he barely lived. With Hugo's help he finally starts to learn about all the things he missed in life. When the Manager, a curious and powerful being, arrives at the tea shop and gives Wallace one week to cross over, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in seven days. By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, this absorbing tale of grief and hope is told with TJ Klune's signature warmth, humor, and extraordinary empathy. A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

The Chalk Man is coming ... It was 1986 when a teenage Eddie Munster helped save Waltzer girl's life. That summer was the one that changed everything. It was the one they came up with the chalk men - drawing them on the pavement in a secret code.

And knew about Waltzer girl's corpse lying still in the wood without a head. It's 2016 and Eddie is still living in Anderbury, teaching at his old school and living with a lodger, Chloe. Life is quiet. Life is rather empty. Until the day the chalk men reappear.
