The Ravenous Dead

"Lovers of ghosts and ghouls will shiver with delight."--Kirkus Reviews

Keira, hired as Blighty Graveyard's new groundskeeper, lives surrounded by the dead. They watch her through the fog. They wordlessly cry out. They've been desperately waiting for help moving on--and only Keira can hear them. But not every restless spirit wants to be saved.

Sometimes the dead hate the living too much to find peace.

As Keira struggles to uncover the tangled histories of some of the graveyard's oldest denizens, danger seeps from the darkest edges of the forest. A vicious serial killer was interred among the trees decades before, his spirit twisted by his violent nature. He's furious. Ravenous. And when Keira unwittingly answers his call, she may just seal her fate as his final intended victim.

"The Whispering Dead was one of last year's little wonders, a horror novel with a surprising amount of humor and heart among all its terrors. This sequel continues Keira's quest to uncover her lost memories and bring peace to the spirits of the dead, but gives her a new enemy in the form of a ferocious ghost that refuses to go gently into that good night." --BookPage, 2022 Most Anticipated Sci-Fi Fantasy
