The Secret of Kage House: A Boston Metaphysical Society Story

By Madeleine Holly-Rosing

In an alternate Boston of the 1800's, social classes are rigidly enforced and the paranormal is part of everyday life, especially if you're Irish. Inheriting her father's gift for being able to see and talk to ghosts, Caitlin O'Sullivan sees no harm in having a little fun with her abilities every once in awhile. But when faced with either obeying her father's rules or helping a young boy, she must make a decision that will change her fate forever.

Based on the popular steampunk comic, Boston Metaphysical Society.

This story is included in the anthology, Boston Metaphysical Society: Prelude.
