The Afterlife of Walter Augustus

By Hannah M. Lynn

Book Overview

"The Afterlife of Walter Augustus is wonderfully written and I thoroughly enjoyed this creative read." - Lorraine Kelly Death isn't quite the end, after all. After two centuries stuck in the Interim, a post-death limbo where souls must stay until they've been entirely forgotten by the living, Walter Augustus is finally about to move on to whatever comes next. But when Letty Ferguson uncovers the last remaining copy of Walter's book of poetry, he finds himself in a race against time. Can Walter, aided by his former employer, Pemberton, and the mysterious and eccentric Hector, destroy the book before Letty fixes him into her memory, condemning him to eternity in the Interim? Letty Ferguson is a mild-mannered, middle-aged shoe saleswoman who has no idea what forces are about to be unleashed by her discovery of a simple poetry book. Being haunted by the 200-year-old ghost of a would-be-poet soon becomes the least of her worries. When a bungled possession and an ill-fated Ouija board session leave Letty demon-marked, she finds her soul - and Walter's - at risk of eternal damnation. Who can Walter trust and how far is he willing to go to rid himself of his ties to the living?
