Expiration Date

Ghosts can be caught, and bottled, and sold by covert dealers to addicts

who inhale the things—and when a young boy named Kootie accidentally

inhales the ghost of Thomas Edison, he finds that all the factions of Los

Angeles' occult underground are after him, determined to kill him and get

Edison's powerful ghost for themselves.
Aided by Edison's confused and

irascible ghost, Kootie flees—and finds himself dodging perils natural

and
supernatural in the gritty alleys and trainyards of a Los Angeles that

tourists never see.
Fromm the slums around the L.A. River, to the abandoned

Houdini mansion in the Hollywood Hills, to a final
dramatic confrontation on

the haunted ocean liner Queen Mary docked in Long Beach, Expiration Date is

a
heart-stopping supernatural adventure from one of fantasy fiction's most

original talents.
