The Sluagh

THE DEAD ARE RIDING THE WEST WIND. THEY KNOW WHICH VOICES WILL OPEN THE DOOR.

Inside the case

DRYDEN, KANSAS • ALL SOULS' DAY

THE WINDOWS ARE SHUT.

THE OLD IRON IS WARM.

THE DEAD ARE STILL CALLING.

Fourteen-year-old Cass Whelan is trying to hold together a failing fence, a farm her family can no longer keep, and the memory of the grandmother who taught her how to repair both.

Then a crescent of gray figures crosses the western sky. The Sluagh ride the wet cold, speak in the voices of the dead, and wait for grief to open a window.

When Dryden's forgotten cemetery boundary fails, Cass must restore an old closing before the Host takes someone still living. But the voice calling her outside knows exactly what she wishes her grandmother had said.

Some voices should be remembered. Some should never be answered.
