Venez frisonner de curiosité avec nous!
There's no better way to get in the Halloween spirit than with a spooky read!

Join us on Monday, October 29 at 6 pm at AFMSP for a book reading by the author to discover science fiction and the paranormal.

About the novel
Maya, a young anthropologist, finds herself able to communicate with the spirits of the dead, but not yet passed on. While assisting one of these souls, she is transported light years away from Earth where her work as an anthropologist is put to the test.
