USA Today bestseller and rising queen of atmospheric horror Darcy Coates returns with a ghost story that will haunt you long after the final page. Keira, hired as Blighty Graveyard's new groundskeeper and unofficial spirit guide, lives surrounded by the dead. They watch her through the fog. They wordlessly cry out. They've been waiting for help--and only Keira can hear them. But, even as Keira tries to learn the tangled histories of some of the graveyard's oldest denizens, danger seeps from the forest. A vicious serial killer was interred among the trees decades before. His spirit became twisted by his violent nature. Ravenous. And Keira is more than uniquely connected to the spirit world: she's uniquely vulnerable. When she hears his calls and steps between the trees, she seals her fate as his final intended victim.

Another fun read in which we discover that Coates doesn't do as many throwaway lines as we might have thought.
