The Hanged Man and the Fortune Teller

A novel of the supernatural, The Hanged Man and the Fortune Teller is a testament to the longing that comes over us in our lonely moments, when we shiver and feel the presence of someone near us in the dark. A dead man—nameless, all but formless, not quite here but not unable to move on—fights his way back to who he was. What happened to him? And what happened to the love of his life? His memories retreat like the tide, tantalizingly close but always receding. This nameless ghost is harassed in the right direction by a fellow spirit, one of few that remain—a circus fortune teller tethered to him by a tragic history of her own. Ghosts are an unusual manner of creature, impermanent, restless, full of pain, but she is particularly complex: his coy, confusing stalker.
