A horror show. A ghost story. A love story.

'Chills your bones and warms your heart' KYLIE LEE BAKER

Laurel Meng is a con woman. She goes into rich people’s houses and pretends to exorcise their ghosts. Anything to pay the bills, since the only thing scarier than the undead is real-life debt.

When Laurel arrives at Poppy Creek, a sweet bed and breakfast, she plans to plaster the place with fake Taoist talismans, set up cameras to feign paranormal activity, and then solemnly declare the ghost is at peace. Whatever it takes to convince the owner that her son has now passed over.

But Taika is a real spirit with no interest in switching realms. When Laurel begins to hear his voice, she realises she’s out of her depth… and also that there’s more badly wrong at Poppy Creek.

Who are the strange other guests? Why can Laurel talk to Taika? And how did Taika – who turns out to be funny, as well as dead – actually die?

She’d like to be paid. She’ll settle for getting out alive.
