Ghosts can be caught, and bottled, and sold by covert dealers to addicts
who inhale the things—and when a young boy named Kootie accidentally
inhales the ghost of Thomas Edison, he finds that all the factions of Los
Angeles' occult underground are after him, determined to kill him and get
Edison's powerful ghost for themselves.
Aided by Edison's confused and
irascible ghost, Kootie flees—and finds himself dodging perils natural
and
supernatural in the gritty alleys and trainyards of a Los Angeles that
tourists never see.
Fromm the slums around the L.A. River, to the abandoned
Houdini mansion in the Hollywood Hills, to a final
dramatic confrontation on
the haunted ocean liner Queen Mary docked in Long Beach, Expiration Date is
a
heart-stopping supernatural adventure from one of fantasy fiction's most
original talents.
