Review:
"A funny, offbeat debut that won't let you go." -- Fanny Blake
"A very, very good novel. Not a wasted word. Helen Slavin is a highly original talent." -- Beryl Bainbridge
"A very original, off-beat novel full of bizarre twists and turns and colorful characters that just won't let you go." -- Sue Stevenson
"The narrative voice is . . . no-nonsense, warm, and witty. . . . Both ÝAnnie¨ and the book are unassuming and disarming." -- Zoe Paxton
"Helen Slavin's wicked sense of humor and vivid imagination lift this debut above most examples of the currently popular 'life after death' genre."
"Is this the most quirky, bizarre, black-humored left-field ghost-story social commentary you will see this year? Certainly it will hit the bookshelves with a bang." -- Graham Clark
"There is strange comfort in this book, full of visitors from beyond the grave. . . . Helen Slavin can strip characters without a shred of nastiness. This debut is the oddball antidote to the psychic adverts that lurk in the inside of every glossy gossip magazine." -- Michael McGirr

Annie Colville works the only customer service desk for the dead. Alternately wearied and amused by the petty trivialities of heirlooms and everlasting arguments, she tries to live a real life through her job at the University. There, picking over skeletons in the archaeology labs, she finds she's only too ready to fall in love with the enigmatic Evan Bees. But when Evan vanishes, Annie finds there is no one to help her walk the line between the living and the dead. As the messages become darker, so Annie begins to become a ghost at the edges of her own life. Until the night, the Dead mention the name 'Arthur' and the frayed edges of the past begin to knit themselves into the future.
