The Ghost Toucher
"Haven't you ever picked up your keys for no reason and realized you had nowhere to go?" Israel asked. "Or picked up a pen and didn't have anything to write?"
"No," Kelly said.
"Sure you have. Everybody has. It's like having déjà vu about déjà vu."
"What?"
"You know – you remember remembering you've done a thing before, but you only remember remembering it when you're remembering it?"
"So when I'm not remembering it, I forget it?"
"You got it."
"No. No, I don't."
In a world where ghosts are an accepted reality, Stout Roost, reality star and host of the Network's The Ghost Toucher reality series has
vanished. But Israel, the spiritual detective they hire, doesn't exactly have a plan to find him. Kelly Greene, a customer service rep, is
tapped to assist the detective, but he quickly realizes that as far as
unconventional methods go, Israel's are insane. He informs Kelly there
is an afterworld and it was already populated by pesty ghosts. They also hate humans because they eventually become ghosts and are seeking a
'clean' way to exterminate us all. The two learn finding Stout is the
least of their worries as they are pursued through metro-Detroit by
obsessive compulsive wannabe warriors, mutants who worship an insane
deity, weapons from the other side and a mysterious, perpetually
pregnant, augmentative woman with a gender complex.
