“The World is Not Escaped by Death”

 

Jesse, an apprentice exorcist, defies his priests when he learns his sister is in danger—even though she’s dead.  When he’s exiled to a haunted  world, Jesse must unravel the mystery of what ghosts really are if he is to save her.  He plunges into a deadly game of hide-and-seek.  The players include denizens draped in monkish robes, ghosts with matted eyes, the dead who tunnel underground in terror. And Elspeth.

A coven scientist, Elspeth is both respected and feared for her abnormal spiritual powers.  Jesse craves the knowledge of ghosts which she possesses. Is she truly a spiritual prodigy, or dangerously insane? 

Caught in a world on the brink of spiritual evolution, Jesse struggles to understand Elspeth even as frightening contacts from his sister force him to face the secret, shattering meaning of a verse he knows well:

Blessed are the poor in ghost.

 

 

 

READER REVIEWS:

“By combining mystical and paranormal elements, Baker creates a mood of suspense and mystery. The further you get into the story, the more you begin to realize that this is not just a paranormal thriller, but also the narrative of a spiritual journey.”

“The worlds Cricket created were so full of detail that I could imagine it all. I believe that’s truly my favorite part of this book. The story was wonderful, but the visual detail just completely brought everything to life for me and I cannot wait to read more of her work!”

“Cricket Baker is a very talented writer and her narrative carries the reader along like a powerful locomotive. But this train is not one out of control but is, instead, a freight-liner carrying important cargo that speeds along under the firm hand of Ms. Baker as it takes you on a magical journey. The main characters are carried to another world, riding a vortex; they encounter covens of the number-obsessed; they race through underground caverns and snow-covered forests being chased by creatures of the night; and they suffer fates unique to their own persona…Dare to ride on this speeding train through the dark wasteland and you just might find yourself in a new light when you reach the last page!”

“This read was captivating with its mix of scripture and extreme imagination. Thumbs up and recommend!”

“Ms. Baker’s writing is decidedly haunting and complex. The worlds she created are as dark and deep as Alice’s rabbit hole, with a cast of interesting characters. Keep an open mind and heart as you read `The Ghosting of Gods’, an interesting blend of the spiritual and supernatural.”
