| book description |

A gothic, lyrical evocation of a shipwreck, ghosts, and lost-and found-love in a North Shore townÂ Â Jack Cooper, last in a long family line of fishermen, lives alone in the remote North Shore town of Greyshore, haunted by grief. But he will discover what it means to be truly haunted when a ghostly woman appears to lure him to landâ€™s end, to the beckoning waves that have broken his heart. In a tale weird and whimsical, as familiar as folklore and as strange as life itself, musical artists Chan Poling and Lucy Michell create a world where even the most hardened soul has to see that grief may be tough, but life is tougher.Â As Jackâ€™s childhood friend, the loyal and endlessly optimistic Red, tries to counter the ghostâ€™s allure, the story exerts its own charm, guiding us through a landscape of prose and pictures at once irreverent and dead serious. Though the bookâ€™s surreal seduction might call to mind the likes of Wes Anderson, Edward Gorey, or the Decemberists, it is, finally, Poling and Michellâ€™s singular accomplishment, an enchanting imaginative leap into lifeâ€™s haunted depths.
