In a haunted city, a 16-year-old seer named Charlie Frith discovers that one of his ghostly friends has gone missing. To find them, he must step out of his reclusive life and join forces with Sam Harrow, the new seer in town, along with a diverse group of ghosts. Together, they race against time to save their friends from a fate worse than death, uncovering a dark purpose behind the disappearances that exceeds Charlie's worst fears.

This clever and heartfelt queer story about a sensitive young man who sees dead people is a chillingly delightful addition to any ghoul-lover's shelf.
