A\u00a0“superior paranormal thriller . . . surprising and moving.” \u2014<\/b>Publishers Weekly<\/em><\/p>\n

“In classic Dressler fashion, the latest Last Ghost story is totally engrossing, and overflowing with confounding questions about life and death.<\/strong>\u201d\u2014Booklist<\/i><\/p>\n

In a climate-ravaged town in the remote Utah desert, a house remodels itself, a cemetery is rearranged, and an ancient valley is suddenly haunted by a glimmering visitor. Called in to “clean” the unwanted dead, ghost hunter Philip Pratt finds himself in territory at once familiar and unfamiliar, stalking the spirit of Emma Rose Finnis, a one-hundred-year-old phantom who has never let his own spirit rest.<\/p>\n

Yet Emma has come to this blazing desert for her own reasons\u2014to see just how far a ghost can go in a changing world. And if a living man bars her path, she must find a way through him, even if it means risking her heart and soul. Joined by other ghosts of the West, both old and new, she will make her stand for the unexpected chance at love and home, far from the cold ocean grave where she began.<\/p>\n

A boldly imaginative tale of loss, hope, and danger by the award-winning author of the Last Ghost series,\u00a0Our Eyes at Night\u00a0<\/i>is a journey through a stunning landscape of inescapable consequences, for both the living and the dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat if everyone in the world already took it for granted that ghosts existed? And what if the ghosts were only a \u2018problem\u2019 because of the mind-set of the living? M Dressler mines rich allegorical territory in her\u00a0The Last Ghost<\/i>\u00a0series [and]\u00a0Our Eyes at Night.<\/i>\u201d\u2014Salt Lake City Weekly<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur Eyes at Night\u00a0<\/i>is a work of great wit and imagination, with chills aplenty. Grab it if you see it; you won’t be disappointed. M Dressler has a masterful grip on narrative and can write the lights out. I am new to her work but will be devouring her back catalogue in short order.\u201d\u2014Billy O’Callaghan, author of The Dead House<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cEerie and daring, a lyrically told tale of powerful and purposeful spirits that will leave you pondering what the dead might actually think of the living, and whether the wall between the two is ever as impermeable as we believe. \u201d\u2014Elizabeth Crook, author of\u00a0The Which Way Tree<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cCombining the normalization of horror and surprising depths,\u00a0Our Eyes at Night<\/i>\u00a0captures a world just beyond our reality, a world whose presence we fear not because it’s scary but because it is so very familiar.\u201d\u2014Eric Barnes, author of\u00a0The City Where We Once Lived<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe we\u2019ve all learned how to live with ghosts.\u00a0We are aware now more than ever of how we occupy haunted spaces.\u00a0Still, perhaps most of us haven\u2019t learned to think of our ghosts as\u00a0of us<\/i>, as\u00a0actually\u00a0<\/i>us\u2014as this\u00a0terrific<\/b>\u00a0novel suggests.\u00a0Our Eyes at Night<\/i>\u00a0is a ghost story, yes.\u00a0 More than that, it gives us a story about humanity: it is a tale of pursuit and an heroic journey; it is a novel about fear and politics, about race and class and gender, about loyalty and persistence and especially about love.\u00a0It interrogates the nature not so much of death (though it does that) as of life and choice.\u00a0Our Eyes at Night\u00a0<\/i>is full of wonder and humanity, and it is deeply, deeply satisfying.\u201d<\/b>\u2014Katherine Coles, Utah poet laureate and author of Look Both Ways<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n
