Under the Whispering Door
In a tea shop that looks like it will collapse, lives a reaper, an old man, a ghost dog, and a ferryman. They all work together to help the dead crossover, for however long that takes.

I mean it is a perspective on a classic that is equally devastating so I guess I was preparing myself for the inevitable sob fest I was about to have while reading. When I started the book, it took me a…
