The Ghost in Love

It's been six years since I read one of Jonathan Carroll's wacky stories. This one is every bit as wacky as the other two I've read. There's a man, Ben, who supposed to have died from an accident but he didn't. His ghost is sent down to take over but finds she has nothing to do since Ben is still alive. Ben's ex-girlfriend, German, is sharing custody of their dog, Pilot. The ghost falls in love with German. Ben wants to get back together with German. But then things start getting wackier... talking dogs, the Angel of Death, revisiting scenes from memories, ghosts becoming visible, and so forth. Reading this phantasmagoria you may get a little confused by what exactly is going on, but it's best just to go with it. It'll all (sorta) make sense (using its own logic) in the end. It's hard to classify this author's work so I'm not going to bother. It's just different and often thought-provoking.
