There's a beast in the woods. There's a ghost in the fields. There's something wrong with the house down the lane. They'll tell you: turn away from unnatural women for surely the wolf will eat you whole and the phantom will haunt you till the ends of the earth. However, love is made of more things in heaven and earth than dreamt of in your fables. Three Sapphic novellas infused with humor, tenderness, and wonder: The Waitress and the Werewolf , The Phantom in the Lavender Fields , and Paper Girl . A werewolf shares early morning conversations with a waitress after she comes in starving from her transformation and the waitress tries to figure out what the muddy, shoeless stranger is doing there each month. A phantom reappears and disappears in the wild lavender fields and a woman at rock bottom accidently incites her haunting. Finally, a coming-of-age story of a paper delivery girl as she uncovers the mystery surrounding a strange house and the girl inside who never seems to leave. Rules for Loving Haunted Girls is a series of otherworldly love stories about rewriting conventions through finding each other. The night is dark and full of teeth, but surely, we must leave our house to find a home.
