A new home with a haunted history

James Thorne’s move to a new town brings more than the upheaval of leaving friends and a boyfriend behind: the house is haunted by Nathaniel, a trans boy who died in the 1700s, and by a more threatening presence in the basement. The connection James and Nathaniel form links the novel’s supernatural danger with questions of identity and recognition across the divide between the living and the dead. Its young-adult premise combines a changing family situation, a new-town adjustment, and a haunted-house mystery, with James and Nathaniel’s growing bond at the heart of the story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in LGBTQ+ fiction featuring a trans character.
  • Readers who enjoy supernatural stories about ghosts and haunted houses.
  • Readers interested in young-adult stories about moving, family change, and forming new connections.
