"Grief is a resounding character in this strongly written novel, a low-ebbing throb that grows louder as Sal hides further behind his wall of sadness.
A beautifully executed queer romance and exploration of family that's haunted by loss and elevated by love. (Fiction. 12-18)" Kirkus Review

Sal lives in a haunted house. He longs to be ordinary, but when the strangest of strangers arrives on his doorstep-a fellow outcast called Pax-his life grows even more complicated. Sal goes on to develop an unlikely friendship with Pax, whose love for all things spooky drew him to the house and its inhabitants.
But as the two grow closer, the true nature of the hauntings is gradually revealed. Will Sal find the courage to conquer his ghosts or will he risk losing Pax for good?
