Asa is an unwilling sensitive with a fear of mirrors and anything reflective. Amy is an unwitting empath. Together they are responsible for murder. THE SHIPPY SIBLINGS are rarely alone, despite living as secluded orphans on the remains of their family's generational farm. Tucked between the scrub-spattered brown hills of Salinas Valley, the decayed farmhouse is home to more than just the Shippy's family secrets. Ghosts vie for a foothold in this world, focusing most of their attention on poor Asa, whose lifelong Shadowman attachment has made it impossible for him to live normally. Amy, on the other hand, doesn't seem as heartily affected. Her constant struggle to erase the memory of their abusive, dead mother preoccupies most of her personality. But when a serial killer appears to be targeting them specifically, the siblings are forced to confront a haunting so personal, so vengeful, that it can only be family.

You'd think his day would get better after realizing it wasn't from the IRS, but you'd be wrong. *** Sam Walker considers his biggest problems in life as his coursework for his engineering major and his lazy roommate Jake. But when Sam receives a letter from the Grim Reaper Services, Jake winds up dead, and the Grim Reaper himself tells Sam he's not supposed to be alive, his problems get bigger. In order to prevent his life from being terminated, Sam must take on a job from the Grim Reaper to catch a notorious serial killer before October 31.
