In 1939, young journalist Will Drachman is murdered during a visit to Dr. Norman Baker's alleged Cancer Curing Hospital. To move on, Will needs his body properly buried. But there's one problem - he has no idea where it is.
Fast forward seventy-eight years, sixteen-year-old Zacari Jones is on a grudging getaway to salvage her relationship with her father at the hospital-turned-hotel named The Crescent. She discovers an old-fashioned camera beneath the floorboards of her room, also known as Baker's old office, and it proves to be more than a dusty artifact when she peers through and finds she is able to communicate with the ghost of Dr. Baker.
As Dr. Baker sheds light on his legacy, Will has something to say on the matter. Faced with ghostly contradictions, Zacari must determine who is telling the truth, all the while juggling a neglectful father, a possible romance, and chihuahua sidekick prone to fits of uncontrollable urinating.

Haunted
The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete
