Gold grows up knowing only a few things about herself: something lets her see ghosts and read her neighbors' secrets, and her mother seems to hate her. But when she strikes out on her own, she stumbles into a job at The Wheel, a literally underground lesbian bar where a coven gathers every Thursday and each entrance requires a painful sacrifice. It feels like the first place she's belonged.

Most people come home with a window sticker, a shot glass, or a bottle opener cleverly disguised as a key chain from their summer vacations, but not AJ.

Now AJ, Norm (the hunter spirit), and Danny, Norm's rightful heir, wander the country fighting demons that escape from Hell to enjoy this world's lavish all-you-can-eat soul buffet.

No one knows whether Daisy was murdered, or if it was a simpler, slower death: her yearslong spiral of alcohol, abuse, and helplessness. But when Mel enters the estate, she finds Daisy's ghost, somehow frozen at twenty-five, and a charming, bleeding phantom that used to be Jay Gatsby.

The murder of innocent people for entertainment is the kind of thing that makes Eric's blood boil and his bloodthirst for vengeance rise.

A los pies de la cama hay una ventana con una persiana de cordel en la parte de afuera y contraventanas arrimadas por dentro. La claridad se esquirla como un airecillo, todavía blanda y azul, flota sobre nuestros cuerpos, duda un instante y con un suave aleteo se posa encima de Victoria. La miro mientras duerme, destapada y desnuda. Sin osar tocarla. Me levanto, abro las contraventanas y vuelvo a la cama. El día cuelga ante a mí, húmedo y resplandeciente. Veo la barandilla de la terraza, comida por la hiedra que nace del patio.
