Kaile and her disgruntled shadow search for music and magic that can save their city. 

“In Ghoulish Song, William Alexander returns us to the fascinatingly sinister world of Zombay. As with his previous novel, Goblin Secrets, Alexander’s work is startlingly original, simultaneously funny and suspenseful.”

– Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn

“Will Alexander’s books are a secret pleasure that are now revealed to the world. Funny, smart, and gorgeously written without sacrificing an ounce of forward-moving plot, they are both a pleasure and instructive. When I grow up, I want to be Will.”

– Jane Yolen, Aesop of our Era

“William Alexander is a wonderful talent whose breadth of vision and sense of theatricality, sly wit, and wicked whimsy have charmed and enthralled me since I first set eyes on his work.”

– Catherynne M. Valente, author of The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

“There is magic in almost every aspect of Alexander’s world, including the sinister sentience of the river and the bones of the drowned, and his graceful prose weaves an engaging fantasy that embraces the power of music.”

– Publishers Weekly
