Samenvatting:

The Chapel Ghost is a haunting collection of magical-realism short stories set along Maine's foggy, evocative coast. In these tales, ordinary objects transform into portals to memory and imagination: an old percolator dredged from mud, a fire-scarred cauldron, a lace-trimmed apron glowing under moonlight.Kate Becker's luminous storytelling invites readers to explore the liminal space between the seen and unseen, where family secrets, generational legacies, and unspoken fears take shape. From a stranded Lilliputian creating small wonders to a candy-maker's legacy smoldering with betrayal, these stories blend the mysterious with the deeply human.In the title piece, two young friends uncover a crime buried for over a century near a Maine chapel-driven by curiosity, brotherly loyalty, and the timeless pull of the unknown.Atmospheric and richly imagined, The Chapel Ghost explores the enduring power of place, memory, and the quiet magic that haunts us all.
