Gia used to be someone people watched. Now she's someone people forget at the grocery store. After marrying a sweet but clueless man who met her at the club, she trades glitter for grocery lists-and starts quietly decaying in a quiet San Antonio suburb. When she makes the mistake of having an affair with her neighbor's son, the ghosts get personal.
As her house turns violent and her past turns visible, Gia has to confront what she tried to bury under beige towels and good behavior. Help arrives in the form of two sarcastic women with sage bundles and ros , ready to banish shame from the walls. Love, Guilt, and Other Dead Things is a deadpan ghost story about sex work, bad marriages, suburban repression, and what happens when your past refuses to stay politely buried.
