The Old Straight Track: Death is weird, Frank thinks, though he suspects this is not the way it’s really supposed to go.

Living With Ghosts: “Listen, can we talk home renovation later?” Frank says, “I want to know why the kitchen floor has a secret layer of hand-carved occult symbols.”

Other Lives and Dimensions: Here, when I say I never want to be without you,

somewhere else I am saying I never want to be without you again.

The unholy union of a high school AU and a ghost story. Gerard’s life takes a strange turn when his family moves to a small town in Vermont and he discovers the locals aren’t all what they seem to be. Also includes: unexpected nature walks, murder, pining, improper treatment of crime scenes, a number of bone-related puns, high school bullies, and a short-range shrub named Ferdinand.
