I had a dream in which Fran Wilde had written a ghost story that I loved, but about which I had completely missed the ghost element. On waking, all I recalled was that the story had taken place entirely through notes passed between the ghost and a living person.

This isn’t exactly that story, but it is built along similar lines. I had fun building up a doomed romance between a shy ghost and a gentle man.

The story came out in In Another Time on 9 June 2025.
