In a Castle Dark
Ophie’s Ghosts
By Justina Ireland
Justina Ireland’s 2022 Ophie’s Ghosts is a stand-alone historical occult novel.
After a white lynch mob murders her father and burns the family home to the ground, young Ophelia “Ophie” Harrison and her mother flee Georgia for the comparative safety of Pittsburgh.
Trauma wakes in Ophie a rare ability, the ability to see and to speak to ghosts. Whether this is a gift or a burden is unclear.
