This is not a normal part of the grieving process.When Kyle Kintner's brother dies suddenly on the other side of the world, it doesn't take long for the ghosts to appear. Not the metaphorical kind that accompany a tragedy, but real ones. Shattered and screaming, they stalk Kyle through neon-lit alleys in Shanghai, under the mossy canopies of Florida's backroads, down through the slums of Southeast Asia, and beyond...where the islands bear no name. Caught between time zones and his own bitter memories, Kyle must navigate more than grief. He must untangle the sins of his family and decipher the dead's demands-and what he will demand from them in return. What follows is a dark, fast-paced descent into the emotional and supernatural fallout of absence, addiction, and male identity. Jason S. Hornsby, acclaimed author of Eleven Twenty-Three and Every Sigh, The End, delivers a genuinely haunting novel that merges expat malaise with Southern Gothic horror. Brutal, bleakly funny, and profoundly human, Ghost Sickness is a story for anyone who's ever tried-and failed-to leave the past behind. Bleak, beautiful, and deeply disturbing. Hornsby drags the haunted house into the modern expat psyche, then burns it down with hallucinatory dread.
- Bangkok Post Hornsby reaches into the depths of his own personal experience, slashes and stabs at it with a knife, and spills the remains out onto the page. A true masterpiece of grief and permanent loss.
- Bowie Ibarra, author of the Down the Road series There's something terrifying about how naturally this character's life unravels. Hornsby asks his readers the tough questions, where the only difference between Kyle and the rest of us is that we're still deluded into thinking there's a way out of all the madness.
