A family story.
A ghost story.
A love story.
A New York story.
Magdalena Between Dimensions
Because giving up your ghosts is harder when they live with you.
Magdalena Byrne grew up in a house haunted by all the bored, bickering phantoms of her family. Aunts nurse old grudges and uncles offer old-fashioned advice. Dead squirrels haunt the attic, chased by ghost cats over rotting beams.
When her mother dies, the family home and all its ghosts pass on to Maggie. Rather than spend eternity arguing with her dead mom, Maggie hatches a plan: Sell the house, get the hell out of Staten Island and away from her family, and finally start living.
But when Maggie discovers someone’s been leaving eviction notices on the front door her escape plan is dead on arrival. Where are all these ghosts going to live?
On top of this spectral mess, Maggie can't stop thinking about Frank, the very charming man she met the night of her mother's funeral, whose 1970’s movie star looks have her rethinking her longstanding commitment to one-night stands. But it turns out Frank has ghosts of his own, and he soon introduces Maggie to a version of New York where every haunted thing Maggie thought impossible about her own life is suddenly real.
As both their families and universes unravel, Maggie and Frank must finally decide: Can they trust a living soul?
