    About this ebook

    Tormented and alone a ghost lies trapped on a lonely back road, cowering from a terrible evil on the other side. When a passerby stops in the ghost's clearing he gets one last chance at the afterlife and finds that even in the depths of horror there is still some laughter to be found.
