But since the day when a rash of powerful tornadoes touched down in Newfoundland, Ohio--killing more than half of the students in her school, not to mention dozens more people throughout the town--she's been haunted: by the ghosts of her best friends, by the boy next door, even by her boyfriend. And the living are haunting her too, all those left behind in the storm's wake to cope with the gone away pieces in their lives. A chance encounter with one ghost leads Ellie to discover a way to free the spirits that have been lingering since the storm, and she learns that she's not the only one seeing the ghosts--it's a town-wide epidemic.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>highly spiritual and deeply moving. --<i>Publishers Weekly, </i>starred review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Chris Barzak's stories have appeared in a many venues, including <i>Nerve, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, Teeth, Interfictions, Asimov's, </i> and <i>Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet. </i>Chris lives in Youngstown, Ohio, where he teaches fiction writing in the Northeast Ohio MFA program at Youngstown State University.
