dark mysterious fast-paced

3.0

A very quick, eerie horror novella full of mystery, told from the perspective of a young boy who thinks his father has returned from the dead. Loved the ending, so fucked up.

I do love when authors postulate on what ghosts are, why is a haunting, the specific mechanics and impulsion behind why what is lost still lingers. This novella is great, it does that and more, AND in such lovely prose.
