The Ghostkeeper

Perfect for fans of everything from Lockwood & Co. to The Haunting of Hill House, this gothic graphic novel follows a young medium with the gift-or curse, as some might say-to communicate with the dead. This ghost story "powerfully, tenderly, and empathetically examines death, grief, and the afterlife" raved Kirkus in a starred review! Dorian Leith can see ghosts. Not only that, he listens to their problems and tries to help them move on to the afterlife. It´s a gift that´s made him an outcast to everyone in town. That is except for his dearly departed grandmother, who he´s partnered with to turn this paranormal ability into an honest living, and the local bookshop owner, who seems to be the only non-deceased person willing to give him a chance. But it´s all worth it to Dorian, who feels like he´s been given a bigger purpose. A chance to save those who cannot save themselves. Then one day, the key to Death´s Door is stolen, trapping all the ghosts in the land of the living. Since he´s only one who can see them, the spirits rely on Dorian to retrieve the key before it is too late. If they can´t move on, they´ll soon be consumed by a ghostly rot that has begun to plague them. As it continues to fester and spread, and the ghosts become desperate for relief, Dorian must do whatever it takes to find a way to bring peace to the restless dead-even if that peace comes at the cost of his own….
