Its streets are lined with houses that refuse to let go of their dead, trapping restless spirits within their walls. Those who grieve come from all over, willing to pay any price for a chance to see their lost loved ones again. The desperate wait their turn, hoping for a home to empty. But the dead don’t always make room for the living. For Wenqi, HOME is an obsession. She watches from the edges, an outsider longing to belong, hoping to claim a house and the comfort of ghosts. But when she finally steps inside, she learns that some memories refuse to fade—and some houses hold secrets that were never meant to be uncovered. Ai Jiang’s LINGHUN is a haunting meditation on loss, longing, and the sacrifices we make for the ones we love. Beautifully lyrical and chillingly evocative, it lingers like a ghost long after the final page.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAi Jiang\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Chinese-Canadian writer, Ignyte, Bram Stoker, and Nebula Award winner, and Hugo, Astounding, Locus, Aurora, and BFSA Award finalist born in Changle, Fujian, currently residing in Markham, Ontario.
