The writer Joe Hill tweeted about this small piece of fiction, and wow is it worth reading. Reminds me just a little bit of Hilary Mantel's Beyond Black, but this is very much its own tale -- a ghost story with a superbly original twist.

Taiga, wasn't that good? I REALLY liked it. Also I realized later that the writing reminded me (besides Hilary Mantel) of Kelly Link, who is just a tremendous, tremendous writer of surreal, spooky shit and whom I urge everyone to seek out (she has three or four collections of short stories in print). :D
