Ears

A haunted house tale by the new master of horror, Stephen Graham Jones, in which a mysterious girl in lavender footie pajamas will do anything to keep her house from being sold.
Disgraced former teacher Mr. Morning Gun survives on the margins, earning cash by checking on vacant homes waiting to be sold. His work is simple: keep the pipes flowing and keep the houses move-in ready.
Then he arrives at the Messner House.
When a confrontation turns deadly, Morning Gun is saved by the ghost of a missing child—a girl in lavender footie pajamas who haunts her family’s home. But everything has a price, doesn’t it? What begins as a rescue soon becomes something far stranger and bloodier.
When this former teacher crawls into the hidden places of this house for answers, what he finds are more questions, ones that pertain to him. A reckoning is coming, and it starts with the flush of a toilet.
A haunting story of belonging, isolation, and the dangerous pull of home, Ears is Stephen Graham Jones at his most intimate and unnerving.
