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 life spent working to death and an afterlife learning how to live.

Welcome to Charon's Crossing.
The tea is hot, the scones are fresh and the dead are just passing through.

When workaholic Wallace Price is collected by a reaper from his own funeral, he finally accepts that he really must be dead. But instead of being taken to the afterlife, Wallace is led far away to a peculiar tea shop in the woods. There he meets the curious locals along with Hugo, the shop owner who helps souls to cross over.

But Wallace isn’t ready to leave his strange new home, not now he’s met the kind and charming Hugo and is just starting to feel alive. So when he’s given one week to pass on, Wallace resolves to use the time he has left to experience a lifetime in only seven days.

Fans of A Man Called Ove and The Good Place will fall for this queer love story by TJ Klune, the author of joyous New York Times bestseller The House in the Cerulean Sea.
