A shadow not attached to anything. A face in a window which might be a trick of the light.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey come at dusk. Today.

The proper term these days is 'people without pulses'.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis year, four strangers prepare for a visit from their dearly departed.

As suppressed truths emerge from the shadows, each of them will end Ghost Month changed in ways they never imagined.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHappy Haunting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Poignant, thought-provoking and very funny' JOANNA CANNON\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Darkly comic and deeply felt' GRACE FLAHIVE\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Book House (Thame)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56242577670529,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0280\/7873\/5421\/files\/9780571394708.jpg?v=1789035060","url":"https:\/\/shop.thebookhousethame.co.uk\/products\/ghost-month-27th-aug","provider":"The Book House Thame","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
