Black Candle Vigil - Queer Novellas, #3 - E-book - ePub

Every year in Samhain, two villagers in the small rural village of Aberlaine hold the Black Candle Vigil in the Old Cottage - a whole waking night of making sure the black candle stays lit and keeps the angry ghosts at bay, trapped where they belong. This year, the village lottery throws up Patrick's sister's number, but she has better things to do than keep to an old silly tradition, so he's volunteered to replace her.
Patrick expects this to be a harmless, unremarkable night of quiet work, but it turns out they've all miscalculated: his vigil partner is the only person in the village he doesn't want to see. His ex, Ronan. It goes downhill from there, if anybody can believe it. The candle goes out, and the pair find themselves stuck together in a haunted house from dusk to dawn, forced to do that most dreaded of things: talk about their feelings and face their ugly breakup.
But at least they're not alone; there are ghosts aplenty.
