Â
Welcome to Charon's Crossing. The tea is hot, the scones are fresh, and the dead are just passing through.
Â
When a reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own funeral, Wallace begins to suspect he might be dead.
Â
And when Hugo, the owner of a peculiar tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace decides he's definitely dead.
Â
But even in death he's not ready to abandon the life he barely lived, so when Wallace is given one week to cross over, he sets about living a lifetime in seven days.
Â
Hilarious, haunting, and kind,
Under the Whispering Door is an uplifting story about a life spent at the office and a death spent building a home.
