I was expecting ghosts like spooky BOO and instead I got smacked in the mouth by cutting edge science fiction ghosts. When the blue blobs come it's time to run! Great shizzlr

OMINOUS NEW VISION
Ghosts of San Francisco takes supernatural entities and puts a real face and person behind each one. There are hints that the author will explain famous ghost sightings and there are many secrets touched upon. I just finished the second novel which I thought was unrelated. They both fall into his vision of things to come.
Most books these days paint an endless gloomy loop but this takes a different perspective to the future. It isn't dystopic or utopic, no black and white. You love the villains hate the villains love the heros hate the heros.
Has a gritty feel as if the characters themselves were telling a tiny microcosm from their own words and thoughts in a shadowy world of dark wonders. Great books are often either "get it or you don't" and I am glad I got it.
Looking forward to more.
