Parisian Ghosts: Books 1-3


Book Description

I'm a ghost whisperer, not a catacomb crawler. But when you live in Paris, sometimes you end up being both. Hi, I’m Alix. During the day, I’m a history student at the time-honoured Sorbonne University. After class, I hang out with the ghosts of the revolution, the many undead misunderstood Parisian artists, and adventurous scientists that glow in the dark. None of them are alive, yet they come to me to solve their problems with the living. When a recently deceased catacombs tour guide asks me to retrieve a mysterious personal item from the underground, a whole new world opens up to me. Down in the darkness under the city of lights, cave crawlers and ghosts have built a spooky community. I’m intrigued, and as soon as word gets out I’m a ghost whisperer, I find myself hounded by various parties, not all of them wholesome. With my best friend Gaby, my pet hedgehog Malou, and a whole suit of historical figures at my side, I discover haunting secrets, escape the corrupted ghost police, and try to avoid nefarious necromancers. I’d better be careful now or I might end up a ghost myself. Urban Fantasy with a French twist.

Paris Is a Party, Paris Is a Ghost


Book Description

In a strangely distorted Paris, a Japanese adoptee is haunted by the woman he once loved When Fumiko emerges after one month locked in her dorm room, she’s already dead, leaving a half-smoked Marlboro Light and a cupboard of petrified food in her wake. For her boyfriend, Henrik Blatand, an aspiring translator, these remnants are like clues, propelling him forward in a search for meaning. Meanwhile, Fumiko, or perhaps her doppelgänger, reappears: in line at the Louvre, on street corners and subway platforms, and on the dissection table of a group of medical students. Henrik’s inquiry expands beyond Fumiko’s seclusion and death, across the absurd, entropic streets of Paris and the figures that wander them, from a jaded group of Korean expats, to an eccentric French widow, to the indelible woman whom Henrik finds sitting in his place on a train. It drives him into the shadowy corners of his past, where his adoptive Danish parents raised him in a house without mirrors. And it mounts to a charged intimacy shared with his best friend’s precocious daughter, who may be haunted herself. David Hoon Kim’s debut is a transgressive, darkly comic novel of becoming lost and found in translation. With each successive, echoic chapter, Paris Is a Party, Paris Is a Ghost plunges us more deeply beneath the surface of things, to the displacement, exile, grief, and desire that hide in plain sight.
