Gr 7 Up—Silas returns from Arvale, unaware that he has unleased an ancient and tormented spirit. The Lichport Undertaker must summon the power within himself, and be prepared to make the necessary sacrifice, in order to preserve all that he loves.
His mother's death plunges Silas Umber (cursed with the familial ability and responsibility to take care of ghosts) into a final shivery plight. Infused with varied folkloric influences and a classic gothic sensibility, this series-closer is slow moving and at times overly explained. Fans with an intellectual interest in the genre, however, will appreciate the detailed, atmospheric writing.
