Death is the primary antagonist in each of these stories, sometimes appearing as death of self, other times as death of a loved one, and often as both. In the title story, 'A Good Haunting,' a widower in the midst of an unorthodox death ritual uses humour to deal with grief and guilt while coming to terms with unsavoury details about his spouse's sudden death. In 'The Way of the Volt,' an eighteenth-century African queen is made immortal, sold into slavery, and left to face a series of impossible choices that force her to struggle with what it means to be human. In 'The Sunset Toll,' members of the last community on earth disappear one by one until there are just three people left, trying to maintain hope even as they question the forces that keep them trapped on earth. The characters wrestle with foes, agonize at crossroads, and face painful truths, all while grappling with grief, love, betrayal, motherhood, and ideas of home. Some triumph, some do not-but they all emerge irrevocably changed by their experiences.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57504961266037,"sku":"9781636143132","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781636143132.jpg?v=1786953880"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-carol-mitchell.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
