This cross genre book features two ghosts who haunt a house purchased by the Farber family. The daughter, Denise, tells the story. One ghost is determined to injure residents while the other warns and protects them. The house is probably where a rather famous comic author died. Rumor has it, too, that there is a body hidden somewhere within.
Following huricane Katrina, the family moved into an abandoned house with plans to restore it and open a bed and breakfast. As work commences strange things begin to happen. There are footsteps and the sound of someone humming. At first none of the family members share their experiences.
Denise discovers a a hand drawn and illustrated comic book that she finds has never been published. As she reads accidents begin to plague family members. The father falls through the rotted porch. The daughter injures her hand on rusty screws in the stair bannister and the chandelier falls but a warning from the friendly ghost avoids injuries. She soon realizes that the accidents coincide with those related in the comic book. As the family struggles with finances their hopes to restore the house begin to fade. Can they accomplish their dream or will the ghosts end it all?
