The aesthetic from the background of the last two slides, viewed in full. Greens, yellows, & grays dominate. Images include autumn flowers gone to seed, a white person's feet balancing on a log, an antique diary yellowed with age, faded headstones, a sprout growing through a crack, a bare tree in front of a cottage, yellow flowers in the sunset, a person in silhouette sitting alone gazing at the horizon, a statue of a woman kissing a dead boy's forehead, a statue of a prostrate angel weeping, antique monochrome photographs, sunlight through the trees, lit candles, a white person's hand on a casket, crocuses blooming near a headstone, & an open pocket watch sitting on antique letters. 3 text boxes read: (1) "You get used to it" & "I hope I never get used to being alone"; (2) "It's always worth it, having your folk with you"; & (3) "That's what life is. You lose people you love & you love more people & you lose them too, & you keep on loving anyway because what's the point otherwise?"

book description

in this mesmerizing, wonderfully moving queer cozy fantasy, an immortal ghost hunter must confront his tragic past in order to embrace his found family.

find an angry spirit. send it on its way before it causes trouble. leave before anyone learns his name.

after over two hundred years, Peter Shaughnessy is ready to die and end this cycle. but thanks to a youthful encounter with one o’ them folk in his native Ireland, he can’t. instead, he’s cursed to wander eternally far from home, with the ability to see ghosts and talk to plants.

immortality means Peter has lost everyone he’s ever loved. And so he centers his life on the dead—until his wandering brings him to Harrington, Ohio. as he searches for a vengeful spirit, Peter’s drawn into the townsfolk’s lives, homes and troubles. for the first time in over a century, he wants something other than death.

but the people of Harrington will die someday. and he won’t.

as Harrington buckles under the weight of the supernatural, the ghost hunt pits Peter’s well-being against that of his new friends and the man he’s falling for. if he stays, he risks heartbreak. if he leaves, he risks their lives.
