About the Book

At turns heartwarming and horrifying, this strange and funny novel deals with the terror of losing ones family and the extreme measures people will take to hold on. Jackie and her crush, Ann, both have odd family situations: Jackies mother, although dead from cancer, is a ghost that only Jackie can see, while Anns mother and sister have turned into such violent creatures they need to be kept in the basement and fed living animals. Meanwhile, old man Charlie lives up the road with his blind dog in a building haunted by a headless ghost. Appealing to both adults and older teens, this dark, offbeat, and irreverent story is handled with both humor and honesty.

Review :
[Comeau] turns his adaptable talents to overt horror in this oddly touching novel of ghosts, friendship, bloody secrets, and family relationships... A staccato structure allows for surprising intricacy in so few pages, and the crescendos of terror are leavened by moments of unexpected humor and warmth." Publishers Weekly "The tone is poignant, sometimes wistful, and deadpan funny ... The novel is more eccentric than gory, and whats really shocking about it is that all the mayhem is finally about family ties, both severed and reconnected." Booklist "The gore and supernatural elements are a fitting complement to [Comeau's] characteristic blend of pathos and black humour." Quill & Quire "A really fascinating tale ... the sort of book that Edgar Allan Poe might have enjoyed." Scene Magazine "Comeau isnt writing for suspense. Dealing with a zombie mother is treated with the same tone as Jackies confusion and struggle over her love for Ann ... The real monster tormenting Comeaus characters is the desire for something they cant have and the reluctance to accept what they do." Telegraph-Journal "Comeau never trivializes his characters' emotions, and it's what carries the novel from first bloody page to last." Coast "This is a remarkably tender novel... Quirky to a marvelous fault, Comeau's fourth book is an intricate exercise in offbeat storytelling." Q Syndicate
