4/5. A short novella about Pen getting drawn into a strange question of a ghost inhabiting a corpse. I liked this one – it's far less pat and tidy than some of the previous entries, and is the better for it. And there's more theology than just 'a god shows up and fixes it all.' Pen has to do the hard work, too late but hopefully not too little. Mind the notes on this one, though, oof.
Content notes: Dead children, references to suicidal states of mind.
