Witty, haunting, and kind, Under the Whispering Door is a gift for
troubled times. TJ Klune brings us a warm hug of a story about a
man who spent his life at the office - and his afterlife building a
home. From the author of joyous New York Times bestseller The House
in the Cerulean Sea. Welcome to Charon's Crossing. The tea is hot,
the scones are fresh and the dead are just passing through. When a
reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own sparsely-attended
funeral, Wallace is outraged. But he begins to suspect she's right,
and he is in fact dead. Then when Hugo, owner of a most peculiar
tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace reluctantly
accepts the truth. Yet even in death, he refuses to abandon his
life - even though Wallace spent all of it working, correcting
colleagues and hectoring employees. He'd had no time for
frivolities like fun and friends. But as Wallace drinks tea with
Hugo and talks to his customers, he wonders if he was missing
something. The feeling grows as he shares jokes with the resident
ghost, manifests embarrassing footwear and notices the stars. So
when he's given one week to pass through the door to the other
side, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in just seven days. Fans
of A Man Called Ove and The Good Place will fall for this queer
love story by TJ Klune. Praise for TJ Klune's The House in the
Cerulean Sea: 'I loved it. It is like being wrapped up in a big gay
blanket. Simply perfect.' - V. E. Schwab, no.1 New York Times
bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue 'A modern
fairy tale about learning your true nature and what you love and
will protect. It's a beautiful book.' - Charlaine Harris, no.1 New
York Times bestselling author '1984 meets The Umbrella Academy with
a pinch of Douglas Adams thrown in. Touching, tender, and truly
delightful.' - Gail Carriger, New York Times bestselling author of
Soulless 'A witty, wholesome fantasy that's likely to cause
heart-swelling.' - The Washington Post
