A new novel, Polters, is set for release on March 1, 2023.
What is a Polter? It’s a kind of ghost, a lot like us, but more dead.
They’re not poltergeists—they hate that term because they have nothing to do with spirits, or geists. They’re just Polters, a kind of human being who was once living but is no more.
Dead, then? Well, they don’t see it that way. “Dead” is a term used by the living for someone who is no longer living, but since Polters don’t remember having been alive, they can’t very well say they are dead. They don’t use the term. Dead is a value judgment.
Here’s the book’s description:
Clay, a young Portland photographer, devastated by the recent murder of his girlfriend, Lane, boards a midnight ferry across the river to Bardonia, a town not on any map, full of the city’s recently deceased, called Polters. The residents there are in chaos since their way forward, the train station, is blocked by a reactionary gang. As he searches for Lane in the land of the dead, he meets Ella, a Polter, and is horrified at feeling attracted to a dead person, but together they liberate the station, restoring the Polters’ path to destiny. On the fog-shrouded platform, he must decide whether to go with Ella to wherever Polters go, or return to ordinary life and mourn for Lane.
Polters is about reality–the reality of death and love, with plenty of action on both sides of the silent river that separates them.
