A newspaper reporter strikes up an unlikely friendship with a genial, chatty ghost, and is led through a comic, spectral tour of the afterlife's most sociable spirits.

Olive Harper's 1903 novel is a whimsical comic ghost-fantasy. Playful, genial, of its era. Read it for a light-hearted turn-of-the-century romp where the supernatural is more amusing than frightening, following a newsman and his affable spectral companion through a series of droll otherworldly adventures, in charming period style.
