Ever since the Flicker\/Helix company \"cured\" death with technologically advanced holographic hardware, flicker ghosts have been secondary citizens, lacking purpose and agency. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpending her afterlife in a boarding house in Faraday City, Hildy is the least-requested flicker-ghost at Carlotta Sun's Purgatory House for Spectral Services. At Carlotta Sun's, Hildy competes daily for ghost gigs against her more marketable housemates: the flighty musician Eyvind, desperate to compose the masterpiece he never got to in life, and Anjali, an imperious silent-film extra whose single surviving motion picture shot her to post-mortem stardom despite it being based on a lie. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, a shadowy, headless ghost called the Graverobber has been spotted emerging from holographic billboards, snatching the resurrected from their so-called lives and sowing chaos throughout the city. When one of their fellow boarders goes missing, Hildy and her friends find themselves at the center of a highly publicized mystery. With only two months to go before a crucial election that'll decide the future of all specters, they must determine who the Graverobber is―and, more importantly, where they belong in this \u003ci\u003edead new world.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Podium Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":67683656302960,"sku":"9798347040063","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/1304\/3568\/files\/imageloader_c982d203-ed1d-4f9c-bf1b-80bfd95f1dbf.jpg?v=1791608426","url":"https:\/\/aveson.store\/products\/dead-new-world","provider":"Aveson","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
