When he texts her to spring him out of rehab, she knows enough is enough. She is ready to start a career, make new friends, and meet a great guy-even if that means cutting Silas off. But when Silas turns up dead from an overdose, Erin's world falls apart. When Erin learns that Silas discovered a drug that allowed him to see the dead, she doesn't believe it's real but agrees to a pill-popping "s?ance" to ease her guilt and pain. When she steps back into the real world, she starts to see ghosts everywhere from her Southern hometown's bloody and brutal past. Are the effects pharmacological or something more sinister? And will Erin be able to shut the Pandora's box of horrors she has opened? With propulsive momentum, bone-chilling scares, and dark meditations on the weight of history, this Southern horror will make you think twice about opening doors to the unknown. "A keenly observant narrative that, with a mix of body horror and just plain horror, plucks at the raw nerves of the grieving process." "Utterly original." "Probes the terrorizing psychological grip of addiction, both to drugs and to toxic relationships?The narrative sucks readers into its dark, disorienting world." "Chapman's guided tour of a shroom-and-gloom ghost world, where everyone is addicted to death, reads like a scared-straight program that horrifies you into choosing life." "A Gothic-punk graveyard tale about what haunts history and what haunts the human soul. An addicting read that draws you into its descent from the first page." "Weaves hair-raising, goosebump-inducing horror through a sharp exploration of loss, addiction, and grim history. Haunting guaranteed." "Chapman has the uncanny ability to dredge up his character's personal histories-and our shared cultural history?This book is as good as modern horror gets." "Clay McLeod Chapman is a weaver of nightmares and Ghost Eaters is his darkest creation yet. A nonstop thrill ride, all you can do is strap in and prepare to be haunted. Chapman is the twenty-first century's Richard Matheson. He's that good." "Clay McLeod Chapman's guided tour of a shroom-and-gloom ghost world, where everyone is addicted to death, reads like a scared straight program that horrifies you into choosing life." "Ghost Eaters is one of those rare horror novels that have everything: a dash of humor, real-life demons, complex characters, a heavy dose of the supernatural, and the kind of ending you never forget. This is high-grade horror, and Clay McLeod Chapman is the real deal." 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Women $x Drug use $z Southern States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Drugs $x Overdose $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grief $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ghost stories. 655 7 $a Horror fiction. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Rodgers, Elisabeth S., $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15293431?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/bsa_9798212028813_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012345.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=44D369B8940511EE938C1F5A49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
