The Guiltland Chronicles

<p><em>Hauntings wear many names. Some are people. Some are places. Most are questions that never got an answer.</em></p><p>In this kaleidoscopic collection of gothic grief-drenched fables the dead don't rest and the living carry what's left. Set in a liminal America of rusting towns fog-choked ferries and abandoned theaters where memory splices with myth <em>The Guiltland Chronicles</em> is a map of emotional aftershocks-each story a fault line trembling beneath ordinary lives.</p><p>A tow truck driver is led by a ghost-girl through Appalachian backroads to uncover the truth behind a sunken car seat and a wedding ring welded to the past. A cancer patient finds a vine growing from a mailed potato its roots curling into memory and metamorphosis. An archivist catalogs the silence left behind by a town drowned in things unsaid. And aboard a spectral ferry bound for nowhere a grieving woman must barter her almosts to remember who she was before the static.</p><p>Every story is a reliquary for sorrow-fierce poetic laced with surreal horror and tender rage. With echoes of Carmen Maria Machado Kelly Link and Mariana Enríquez <em>The Guiltland Chronicles</em> is not just a book-it's a reckoning.</p><p><strong>For those who've ever loved a ghost or become one.</strong></p>
