Peter Wachowski has 1) a calling, 2) no paranormal talent, and 3) a problem in the form of a pretty grim haunting that he can’t dispel alone (see point 2).
Apart from being an unemployed psychic who lives in his van, Duncan Coburn has no particular problems. Until a short, motor-mouthed amateur drags him into a confrontation with a wounded, vengeful spirit who is inflicting its pain and hatred on everyone it can reach.
After a rocky start, Peter and Duncan find that their shared purpose—and growing mutual respect and affection—allow them to tackle the haunting together. Which is a good thing, because if they can’t persuade the spirit to go through the door between this world and the next, really bad stuff is going to happen.
Everyone Goes Through the Door is a 75,000-word collection of previously published linked stories, and includes one new 12,000-word story never before published.
