From A.C. Wise, the acclaimed author of Wendy, Darling, comes a brand new collection of horror stories, The Ghost Sequences.

"Fans of Paul Tremblay, Kelly Link, and Seanan McGuire will gravitate to this standout exploration of the supernatural. An essential read for fans of the horrible, shivery, and unsettling."

- Erin Downey Howerton, Booklist, Starred Review

"Wise showcases 16 brilliant stories in this immersive, ghostly collection. With beautiful prose, unique takes, and a broad range of tones and approaches to the horror genre, this is a collection to be savored."

-Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

"A haunting is a moment of trauma, infinitely repeated. It extends forward and backward in time. It is the hole grief makes. It is a house built by memory in-between your skin and bones."

A lush and elegant collection of tales - many having appeared in various "Best Of" anthologies - teeming with frightful and tragic events, yet profoundly and intimately human. These chilling tales will engross and enthrall.

For readers of Kelly Link, Carmen Maria Machado, and Angela Carter, this is a must have collection of ghostly tales set to deliver a frisson of terror and glee.

Praise for this book

-Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

"Fans of Paul Tremblay, Kelly Link, and Seanan McGuire will gravitate to this standout exploration of the supernatural. An essential read for fans of the horrible, shivery, and unsettling."

- Erin Downey Howerton, Booklist, Starred Review

"There's a sense of wonder to these horror stories that I would say is almost fantasy, except for all the terrible stuff happening - but in the most beautiful language, with the most compelling characters. We're lucky to be reading A.C. Wise."

- Stephen Graham Jones, Author of My Heart is a Chainsaw

"A.C Wise's stories set my guts on fire, make my heart hurt and my head spin. I am so grateful for her brave and brilliant work-and for this collection."

- Sam J. Miller, Nebula Award-winning author of The Art of Starving, and Blackfish City

"A.C. Wise's work has always been haunted. The Ghost Sequences is no exception-it will haunt you in the best of ways. You may not realize it at first, but then a few days after reading, the memories begin. Twisted thoughts you can't escape. People you never met but remember. Retracing steps through places you haven't exactly visited, but were absolutely submerged in."

- E. Catherine Tobler, Author of The Grand Tour
