Description
A stranger in black arrives with a single, chilling purpose: to reach Ghyste Mortua, the mountain ghost town where the deadalive linger, and to destroy it. Parl Dro—Ghost Slayer—finds his mission complicated by the desperate sisters Cilney and Ciddey, bound together by love, fear, and the thin line between life and death, as well as by Myal’s volatile genius for music and mischief. In Tanith Lee’s richly Gothic, tarot-tinged fantasy, every bargain and betrayal carries a symbolic weight, turning familiar supernatural tropes into something sharper and stranger. With lyrical, musical prose and darkly witty edge, this novella explores obsession, agency, and what it truly means to “kill” the dead when the dead refuse to stay gone.
