Simon Tuttle is dead.

When Finnigan Walsh attends the funeral of his late, long-lost uncle, he expects to simply pay some unemotional respects and head home. Instead, he's drawn into a bizarre mystery as he meets three of his uncle's old friends.

A blind man armed to the teeth. A woman that speaks and moves only in whispers. A monstrous brawler who lives in the woods. Each one is a reformed killer who owes their redemption to Simon.

Now unable to repay their debts, the trio vows to safeguard Finnigan by drawing out and defeating his mortal enemy. The problem is, Finnigan had no idea he had one.

Haunted by JuliaCoffin

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]
