A funny, strange and sad horror tale; not the usual gorefest, but a tale of the horror of losing a family. This is a book about Jackie, whose mother died of cancer. But her mother's still around, glowing in the dark and vomiting in the toilet. Jackie has a crush on Ann, whose own mother and sister have turned into violent creatures that have to be kept locked up in the basement. Charlie is an old man. His building is haunted by a headless ghost who wants something, but Charlie has no idea what. A weird, wonderful and moving horror story.
