Wanna get haunted?
This book has such an amazing premise - a drug that allows you to see ghosts, with no control over what ghosts you see... set in Richmond, Virginia. While this is mainly a story about the destructive force of addiction is, and how we can never really leave our dead behind us, I liked that it was a little more than just people confronting their own painful interrelationships and also touched on how all land in this country is an unmarked grave.
