Description


Based on a TRUE story: When the unseen collides with the world of the living, the girl with no name awakens to a gift that changes everything. In her twenties, she discovers the ability to tap into her sixth sense — a gift that becomes her most cherished possession. Through it, she reconnects with her brother Gregory she tragically lost. He is more than a guiding presence; he is a messenger, leading souls into her care. Together, they become conduits for spirits longing to give a message to the loved ones they left behind.

At the heart of her journey is a long‑buried mystery — a death wrapped in secrecy. Was it murder or misfortune? As clues surface, one chilling phrase echoes through the pages: Who said FOUND DEAD? And another question rises again and again, whispered by the spirits themselves: Who’s picking me up? Its meaning remains elusive until the dead reveal the truth in their own time.

Years later, the girl makes a life‑altering choice: she moves into a dilapidated 1800s Victorian with her consort, an Old‑World builder with an artisan’s soul. What begins as a simple house flip becomes something far more profound. Beneath the peeling paint and forgotten history is a hidden portal — a passage woven into the very bones of the house, connecting this world to the OTHERSIDE. Spirits slip through and gather in the home’s old speakeasy bar, sharing their stories, their warnings, and their wisdom with the girl who plays the role of the barkeep.

The voices that step forward are anything but silent. From the ghost of the tycoon Leander Stone to beloved PETS, their messages span decades of emotion, mystery, and revelation. {{chills}} Your loved ones are standing by.

Christine
Unexpected Thrill You know the old saying,”if these walls could talk”? Seems these walls can and are! Love the short chapters, and how they interconnect at times. Hidden messages, if you’re paying attention. I was a bit guarded when the book arrived, but chapter after chapter, I found myself sharing the most amazing stories with family and friends. Goosebumps and heartwarming. Read more
Glen
The Ghost drinks rev by Cole Intriguing, entertaining, surprising, fun, and real. The author who I know hears from the other side quite often. The house has its own life, which had many lives. Love and romance of the past life with a little bit of humor adds a new kind of twist to a book. I think it’s a must read. And so did the spirits. Read more

The Dead Man Drinks What a best seller! This book changed my life and can change yours too! It is a collage of true stories about the afterlife. I laughed, I cried, I had shivers run throughout my body reading the TRUE short stories. The author painted vivid pictures of each story about her experiences. I WISH I HAD FOUND THIS BOOK EARLIER IN MY LIFE! It would have helped me cope with tragedies I have experienced! I think everyone who reads this book will benefit from the answer to the “question”about what happens when you pass! I felt more enlightened after reading this great book. Hopefully there will be book number two soon! Read more
