In This Year's Ghost, the dead, the impossible, and the unthinkable gather-not to be ignored, not trifled with, and they will break your heart at every turn. Absurd, hilarious, and carnal, these are everyday ghost stories. Ghosts are the living, and we are the spirits inhabiting their journeys through all that it is to be human. Jason Teal, the author of We Were Called Specimens, says This Year's Ghost is "A triumphant collection of stories by a writer whose strong vision balances the darkness and light of our modern world refreshingly and enchantingly. This Year's Ghost's worlds of puzzles and heartbreak may often contain fantastic beings and futuristic technologies, but they capture the ubiquitous need for connection and affirmation at the core of human experience. Michael Chin is a highly transportive writer whose other books should move to the top of your queue immediately afterwards."
