Bronze Winner: Best Fantasy of 2024. ReaderViews dot com "Polters are people like us, only dead. Except they don't admit that…We say dead. But they say they're just another kind of person…" Nikki Powers, a researcher in Oregon, is interested in people's beliefs about ghosts. When actual ghosts, or "Polters," appear in the attics of Portland houses, she must decide what she believes. Her boyfriend, Wald, a music-store technician, develops an app that translates the Polters' terrifying wailing. Nikki and Wald learn that in the Land of the Dead, the Polters were promised they could join the living, but the bodies did not come across properly, leaving them trapped as helpless, wavering wraiths. They beg their hosts for help. In the chaos that ensues, Nikki and Wald become separated. Back in Portland, alone and grieving in a city gone hysterical, Nikki teams up with the Polters in her attic to save Wald and find a solution for both worlds. Both sides finally accept the truth that the living haunt the dead just as death haunts life. Attic Polters is a spirited adventure that unearths serious ideas about death and what comes after. Five Stars! Reader Views dot com Editorial Review --Mr. Adams has a deft touch which pokes fun at a good deal of modern culture without once falling into snark as our heroine and hero unravel the mystery of why Portland is being invaded by maybe-dead people. One thing's certain—after reading this book, you'll never look at social media the same way again. "Attic Polters" by William X. Adams is entertainment at its best. Highly recommended. Satisfied Reader Review: --This writing is brilliant…The inclusion of details, humor, senses, and other features of human nature are prevalent throughout. And, he does it all without a single vulgarity. … and that is said without a Polter invading my cerebral hemispheres. Editorial Review: --Some of the best social satire I've read in a long time, along with a truly original plot.
