The Wolf at the Door

Ghosts? Angels? Hallucinations?

When a death occurs at Le Petite Paradis, a guesthouse in the French Quarter of New Orleans, the spirit world becomes unsettled, or so Avery Greene Dalyrymple III, the co-owner believes. The son and grandson of Southern evangelists, Avery is also an overworked and overwrought middle-aged gay man, a cynical “big-time drinker and sinner” fairly certain he can maintain a family of “other deviants and delinquents stumbling along Bourbon Street” to keep him company.

But Avery is also the only person in contact with the spirit world on his property — ghosts from the house’s origins during the 1820s — and he must use the history left behind from another ghost — a gay man from the 1970s — to find a way to restore peace to his household and rejuvenate his faith.
