Ghost Fiction

The stories that make up Ghosts of Yesterday create a detailed and realistic portrait of the world that, despite (and perhaps because of) their authenticity, manage to convey a sense of wonder and fantasy, where anything is possible. The characters and places that Cady brings to life demonstrate clearly why he is one of the most versatile and respected writers today.

Nick Summerland traded in the hectic pace of Seattle for the familiar haunts of his hometown, Silvervale. He thought the move would dampen his curse: the ability to see life ticking away from those with less than a year to live.

Nick learns Silvervale has its own secrets, including a beautiful, magic-wielding Medium who sees the same things he does, and a portal to an all-women’s college known as the Ghost Academy that might have the answers Nick needs.

Ghost lives his life under one rule—never fall in love, and never get tied down to just one woman.
