About The Keeper of Lonely Spirits
Find an angry spirit. Send it on its way before it causes trouble. Leave before anyone learns his name.
After over two hundred years, Peter Shaughnessy is ready to die and end this cycle. But thanks to a youthful encounter with one o’ them folk in his native Ireland, he can’t. Instead, he’s cursed to wander eternally far from home, with the ability to see ghosts and talk to plants. Immortality means Peter has lost everyone he’s ever loved. And so he centers his life on the dead—until his wandering brings him to Harrington, Ohio. As he searches for a vengeful spirit, Peter’s drawn into the townsfolk’s lives, homes and troubles. For the first time in over a century, he wants something other than death.
But the people of Harrington will die someday. And he won’t. As Harrington buckles under the weight of the supernatural, the ghost hunt pits Peter’s well-being against that of his new friends and the man he’s falling for. If he stays, he risks heartbreak. If he leaves, he risks their lives.
E.M. Anderson (she/they) is a queer, neurodivergent writer and the author of The Keeper of Lonely Spirits and The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher. Her work has appeared in Wyldblood Press’s From the Depths: A Fantasy Anthology, SJ Whitby’s Awakenings: A Cute Mutants Anthology, and Dark Horses: The Magazine of Weird Fiction. They have two master’s degrees and a feral passion for trees, birds, pole fitness, and Uncle Iroh.
Despite all their book smarts, it is E’s doom to one day vanish into the depths of a mysterious forest, never to be seen again, after ignoring the warnings of the locals just because she wanted to befriend the trees, or maybe find a cool rock. Until that fateful day, you can find them on Bluesky, Facebook, or Instagram at @elizmanderson.
