书籍简介

这个令人愉快的残酷故事讲述了克莱尔这位孤独、不朽的灵魂通往来世的引路人，一场意想不到的友谊颠覆了他孤独的生活，并带领他进行了一次温馨的探索，继续前进。非常适合凯特·迪卡米洛和蒂姆·伯顿的粉丝！

克莱尔是戴德伍德森林的不死狐狸。在这里，树叶在永久的掉落状态下生长：没有完全死掉，但也没有完全活着——就像克莱尔一样。很久以前，他被车撞了，在生与死之间徘徊，他面临着选择，要么穿越到来世，要么成为游魂引路人。克莱尔选择了后者：引导灵魂到达安息之地的孤独生活。

当一个名叫金格斯尼普斯的獾灵魂敲响克莱尔的门时，克莱尔平静而可预测的日子遭遇了剧变。尽管克莱尔努力将她带入来世，獾却无法离开戴德伍德。这是前所未有的。莫名其妙。一个令人不安的谜团威胁着生者与死者之间的微妙平衡。

克莱尔和金格斯尼普斯迫切需要帮助，他们踏上了寻找海丝特禽的危险旅程——这只有远见的松鸡预言了戴德伍德的动乱。但他们抵达后，海丝特福透露了一个令人震惊的真相，这让克莱尔感到震惊、愤怒，并决心不惜一切代价改变自己的命运。

This delightfully grim tale follows Clare, the lonely, undying Usher of souls to the Afterlife, as an unexpected friendship turns his solitary life upside down and takes him on a heartwarming exploration of moving on. Perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo and Tim Burton!

Clare is the undead fox of Deadwood Forest. Here, leaves grow in a perpetual state of fall: not quite dead, but not quite alive—just like Clare. Long ago, he was struck by a car, and, hovering between life and death, he was given the choice to either cross into the Afterlife or become an Usher of wandering souls. Clare chose the latter: a solitary life of guiding souls to their final resting place.

Clare’s quiet and predictable days are met with upheaval when a badger soul named Gingersnipes knocks on his door. Despite Clare’s efforts to usher her into the Afterlife, the badger is unable to leave Deadwood. This is unprecedented. Baffling. A disturbing mystery which threatens the delicate balance between the living and the dead.

Desperate for help, Clare and Gingersnipes set out on a treacherous journey to find Hesterfowl—the visionary grouse who recently foretold of turmoil in Deadwood. But upon their arrival, Hesterfowl divulges a shocking revelation that leaves Clare devastated, outraged, and determined to do anything to change his fate.

作者简介

奥布里·哈特曼 (Aubrey Hartman) 在科技繁荣之前的弗吉尼亚长大，当时激动人心的周末计划包括一张借书卡和几十根冰棒。她心爱的朋友都生活在她喜欢的小说里，如果她说实话，他们现在仍然如此。高中毕业后，她在杨百翰大学学习，获得了广告学学士学位，并辅修了艺术史。目前，她与丈夫和三个年幼的孩子住在加利福尼亚州。在她三十多岁的岁月里，她经历了很多人生，目前正处于她的医疗妈妈时代——学习如何成为她小孩子的拥护者，一个客观上令人愉快的、带着气管和饲管的婴儿。

Aubrey Hartman grew up in Virginia just before the technology boom, when exciting weekend plans consisted of a library card and a few dozen ice pops. Her most beloved friends all lived the pages of her favorite novels, and if she’s being honest, they still do. After high school, she studied at Brigham Young University, earning a bachelor’s degree in advertising and a minor in art history. Currently, she lives in California with her husband and three young children. In her thirty-some years, she’s lived many lives, and is currently in her medical-mom era—learning how to be an advocate for her youngest child, an objectively delightful baby with a trach and a feeding tube.
