{"product_id":"the-sociable-ghost-by-olive-harper-paperback","title":"The Sociable Ghost, by Olive Harper (Paperback)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter midnight in an old New York churchyard, a tired reporter meets a friendly ghost who offers tobacco, straight talk, and an invitation below. Through a hidden door he enters bright catacombs lit by glowing flowers and finds a yearly gathering of the dead-banquets, speeches, and card games where old grudges and proud habits live on. Sailors complain about tombstones, rich folk argue over taste, publishers defend their accounts, and a giant gambler teaches the rules with risky results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuided by his talkative host, the visitor sees famous graves stir and learns how memory and praise can twist a life story. Part comedy and part ghost story, this walk under Trinity and the city above-Broadway cars clanging, presses thudding-offers a lively tour of manners and mistakes. The night will end before dawn, but its questions remain: what is due to truth, what to feeling, and what, at last, to the restless dead?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wildside Press LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43184458727633,"sku":"9781667662626","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5981\/5377\/files\/9781667662626_FC.jpg?v=1784069414","url":"https:\/\/startlingstories.us\/products\/the-sociable-ghost-by-olive-harper-paperback","provider":"Startling Stories","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
