    Summary

    An introverted artist working in vintage art restoration, Jon Sims gets way more than he bargained for when he moves into a converted church to find it already occupied by the feisty ghost of one Gerry Keay. Despite a rocky introduction, the pair finds themselves bonding over art, stained glass windows, tragic childhoods and mutual cat parenthood. Before long, Jon finds himself with very complicated feelings, and a hopefulness that he can't quite explain.

    Summary

    The Archivist was silent for a moment. “I led prey to them,” they replied. “I helped them hunt. I asked for a story in return, but they didn’t want to give one, so they brought me to you instead.”

    He smiled at that, wide and angry in the dark, clenching his teeth until he could imagine the taste of blood. “Did they, now.”

    Summary

    "Why did you stay?" he asks once with the kind of drunkenness that comes from having a bottle of wine and no one to share it with. The house feels empty, too empty, and there's something haunting in and on itself, about a house that never quite got to be a home. "You never cared about me. What's your unfinished business, tormenting me?"

    "Do you want to know how I killed your father?" Mary's ghost asks, smiling like a shark that hasn't quite smelt blood but knows that tears taste just as sweet.
