In her debut collection of short fiction, Due takes us to Gracetown, a small Florida town that has both literal and figurative ghost; into future scenarios that seem all too real; and provides empathetic portraits of those whose lives are touched by Otherness. Featuring an award-winning novella and fifteen stories, Ghost Summer: Stories is sure to both haunt and delight.

Reviews
“The author herself narrates several [stories] and is joined for the rest by practiced narrators Robin Miles and Janina Edwards…Miles and Edwards, in particular, read at a pace just leisurely enough to increase the suspense. At the end of each work, a note is included from the author with background information and her inspiration for the story.”
“In these extraordinary tales, American Book Award–winner Due uses a clear-eyed view of history to explain (but never excuse) the present…[and] to explore how humans embrace transformations in ourselves and one another, even when the result is monstrous.”
