Ryan's biggest problem wasn't that he'd almost died on a routine convoy run in the service.

It honestly wasn't even the fact that he could see ghosts.

Less so that his best friend happened to be an undead kid named Carl who had turned Ryan's life into a video game. Character sheet, perks, abilities, and everything that went with it.

Or that his own past haunted him more willingly and frequently than any haunting ever could.

It was the simple reality that he'd become a restless spirit in his own life. A man shuffling through life as if he were undead.

At least until he figured that part out and forced himself to start moving forward.

A new job has opened up in Noxfield, West Virginia. A place to start over and get behind the wheel to drive his life to where it's meant to be. Which is honestly wherever he wants to take it.

With a new boss, personalized ghost-hunting equipment, new co-workers, and a brand-new location that's as haunted as could be, Ryan Hale is attempting to live.

To escape his past that's clung to him like an echo of life.

At least, so long as West Virginia and its flood of ghosts doesn't cut that dream short.

What waits for him in Noxfield is far worse than anything in his past could serve up to him in a nightmare.

Worse than anything he's seen from the Other Side since his brush with death.

Or since he finally faced the truth about his life and how little of it he'd actually lived.

Because West Virginia is haunted.

Truly haunted.

And by more than just ghosts.
