the afterlife of mal caldera

coming june 2024 from titan books

mal caldera's life is over.

her afterlife is only just beginning.

mal caldera―former rockstar, retired wild-child and excommunicated black sheep of her catholic family―is dead. not that she cares. she only feels bad that her younger sister, cris, has been left alone with their religious zealot of a mother, picking up the pieces mal has left behind. while her fellow ghosts party their afterlives away at an abandoned mansion they call the haunt, mal is determined to make contact with cris from beyond the grave.

mal manages to enlist the help of reluctant local medium ren, and together, they concoct a plan to pass on a message to cris. the more time they spend together, the more both begin to wonder what might have been if they'd met before mal died.

mal knows it's wrong to hold on so tightly to her old life. bad things happen to ghosts who try to interfere with the living, and mal can't help but wonder if she's hurting the people she loves by haunting their lives. but mal has always been selfish, and letting go might just be the hardest thing she's ever had to do...
