A Gallowmere Haunting
Gallowmere is a town that keeps its secrets neatly filed.
The bells ring when no one pulls the rope.
The lighthouse weeps fresh water into the sea.
An orchard grows fruit that never rots.
A bride walks without leaving footprints.
A man is buried twice.
Most towns bury their past.
Gallowmere catalogues it.
When Edgar Thorne and his unlikely team of young ghost hunters--sharp-eyed Lenora Finch, pragmatic inventor Prudence Vale, reluctant heir Bram Rook, and the unsettlingly quiet Morrow--begin investigating a series of strange disturbances, they uncover something far darker than ordinary hauntings.
The town itself is built to suppress the truth.
Beneath the cobbles lies a system designed to count, contain, and quietly erase what should never have been hidden. And when that system begins to fail, Gallowmere doesn't simply haunt its residents...
It tries to leave.
Blending gothic atmosphere, dry wit, and haunting mystery, Graveyard Shift is a darkly whimsical collection of twelve interconnected stories about secrets, silence, and what happens when the dead refuse to be archived.
Perfect for fans of eerie seaside towns, found-family ghost hunters, and beautifully strange mysteries where the setting may be the most dangerous character of all.
