“Suicide by Ghost” by Rose Sinclair

 The latest installment from the Great Ace Digital Book Box arrived just in time for Ace Week for me! It’s a novella written by the founder of Fuck Yeah Asexual. Heads up that it does not include suicide, but it does have discussions about homophobia and transphobia.

So the characters are not asexual, but the main character is a trans man who basically takes a gay boy and a gay girl under his wing as he travels around ghost hunting. It’s a very cute found family story. My only spot of critique is that there doesn’t seem to be any overarching plot line? There was a really interesting section where the main character suspects that the young boy is haunted by his future self, a really neat idea, but it didn’t build up to anything. It felt like the book didn’t know whether it was a single book or several episodes about their lives and fell short of both.

Having said that, it’s a quick read, there are some really interesting conversations about ghosts and religion, it does deliver within its page span. If you got it for free (as I did) then it is certainly worth that read. Support ace authors!
