Ghouls Just Haunt to Have Fun

Ken Wells

"Wells shows his range by taking us into the mind and life of Meely's arch-nemesis, the schoolyard bully Junior Guidry. We catch up with Junior a dozen years later, living broke, drunk, and one-legged in a wreck of a trailer on the edge of a snake-infested swamp. He has survived a fantastical offshore oil-rig accident that would have killed most men; through the help of a good lawyer, it (temporarily) made him rich instead. But Junior has squandered his fortune on drink, blackjack, womanizing, and brawling, leaving a wake of wrecked cars and friendships, not to mention lost or stolen wooden legs.". "Then one night, the mysterious Iris Mary Parfait stumbles into Junior's trailer and his life, a good woman running from a tragic childhood and a bad, bad man determined to track her down. When Iris Mary's past suddenly catches up with her, Junior faces the choice of his life: to regain his fortune, or to reclaim himself as a man."--BOOK JACKET.

Jim True returns from an out-of-body experience to find he has been brutally murdered. Freed from his body, True embarks on a quest to find his killer and discover why and how he has managed to survive. As he closes in on his murderer, True discovers even the people he loved have betrayed him. I wasn't there when I died. I was having one of those out-of-body dreams, the kind where you feel your spirit has left your body and it isn't really a dream. But somebody murdered me while I was away. Mutilated me. Left nothing for me to come back to. Who did it? The serial killer who was terrorizing the whole city? Or someone closer, someone known to me? But I had no enemies. At least, I didn't think I had. Then I began to discover things about myself. Funny what people say about you when they think you're dead. And it's scary when you meet the serial killer, when horror is followed by even greater horror, when your own family is threatened and only you can stop the killings ...
