The Guiltland Chronicles

Enthusiasm

Hauntings wear many names. Some are people. Some are places. Most are questions that never got an answer.

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, The Guiltland Chronicles is a map of emotional aftershocks-each story a fault line trembling beneath ordinary lives.

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.

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, The Guiltland Chronicles is not just a book-it's a reckoning.

For those who've ever loved a ghost, or become one.
