About this listen

On the night of the Hungry Ghost Moon, when spirits can briefly return to the living world, Jodi Wu and her best friend sneak into Portland’s Chinese Garden and Ghost Museum. Kneeling before the pond where Jodi’s toddler drowned one year before, they leave food offerings and burn joss paper—and Jodi prays that Ella’s ghost will return for the night.

To distract Jodi from her grief, the two friends tell each other ghost stories as they explore the museum. They stop at the main display, a centuries-old pair of lotus slippers belonging to a woman whose toes were broken and bound during childhood. While reading the woman’s story, Jodi hears her daughter’s voice.

As Jodi desperately searches the garden, it becomes apparent that Ella isn’t the only ghost they’ve awakened. Something ancient with a slow, shuffling step lurks in the shadows…

I bought the physical copy a while ago, but it ended up sitting on my TBR pile—so when I noticed the audiobook version, I decided to finally dive in.

It’s a story of grief that moves between the physical and spiritual worlds. I especially loved the backdrop of the Hungry Ghost Festival; as someone fascinated by folklore and mythology from all cultures, that element really drew me in.

The story is sad, funny, and deeply emotional. You can tell it was written by someone who truly understands loss—it’s raw and heartfelt.

The last few chapters really pulled me in—I couldn’t stop listening by the end.

A moving novella with a beautiful concept,

A moving, unforgettable novella — highly recommended!
