What if the strange thing that appeared in your room was not there to haunt you, but to help you survive yourself?
In Emotional Support Apparitions: The Works of Mr. Joe, Joseph Santiago gathers a collection of funny, strange, moving, and deeply human stories about people facing the lives they have avoided, postponed, imagined, feared, and secretly wanted.

Inside these pages, haunted houses negotiate chores. Chronically ill bodies teach the world what manageable enough really means. Writers get audited by their own suffering characters. Hidden folk demand housing rights. Alternate selves arrive looking successful, then beg to be spared from the life they supposedly won. Cosmic departments, impossible inspectors, ghostly messengers, and emotionally suspicious apparitions keep showing up with one terrible question:
Are you actually committed to the life you say you want?
These stories are absurd until they become honest. Funny until they cut close. Tender until they start asking for receipts.
For anyone who has tried to imagine the future and found the map unreadable, this book offers something stranger than certainty: possibility. Not easy hope. Not polished answers. But doors. Strange ones. Crooked ones. Ones labeled by grief, laughter, regret, friendship, desire, and the version of yourself still waiting to be chosen.
Part speculative fiction, part modern fable, part emotional ambush with jokes, Emotional Support Apparitions is for readers who know that life rarely explains itself clearly, but sometimes sends a ghost, a clipboard, a haunted rat, a tiny house, or a better-dressed version of yourself to point toward what still matters.
Bring snacks. Keep good company. And never trust an apparition that does not respect your seating preferences.
