To burn it out is the only way and it is the fire of your personal apocalypse, or revealing, that will perform this cleansing action.

But it’s also twisted takes and irreverent pastiches, with weird kids and lovelorn sequels. It’s ancient times, different histories, and distant futures. It’s cats and cults and candles, odd architecture, mysterious tomes.

It’s a collection of sixteen stories by Splatterpunk Award-winning author Christine Morgan, inviting you to take a peek…

When it comes to short fiction, Orrin Grey is a magician, a practitioner of an arcane art inspired by the likes of Méliès, Welles, and Bradbury. Through literary legerdemain and stylistic sleight-of-hand, he takes the well-told weird tale into a realm of the supernatural, the uncanny, the theatrical, and, most importantly, the entertaining. And entertainment is what you’re sure to find in this collection of stories, provocatively entitled How to See Ghosts & Other Figments. Through the magic of the written word, you will see ghosts. And so much more! The strange! The sinister! The superlative!

Orrin Grey returns with eighteen haunting stories of the strange and supernatural. How to See Ghosts & Other Figments also includes extensive story notes and an introduction by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
