 It's near Halloween, and Harry Dresden is being rushed off his feet trying to deal with the sudden uprising of vicious and violent ghosts. He enlists an old friend, Michael Carpenter, to help him on his missions, but as they desperately try to determine who is stirring up the spirits before they can further threaten Chicago, things just keep getting more complicated. A girl who comes to Dresden for help abruptly disappears. A vicious spirit, aptly dubbed The Nightmare, starts stalking Harry with a vindictiveness that seems due to a personal grudge. Harry's creepy fairy godmother is once again after him, claiming his life as forfeit for past favors to both Harry and his mother. Harry's old antagonist, Bianca the vampire, has gained new status and is suspiciously eager to have Harry come to a party celebrating her rise in stature. And to top it all off, Harry is trying to understand and come to grips with his feelings for his girlfriend, Susan Rodriguez, while still protecting her from all of the chaos around him.

 Why? 
 Because I strongly disapprove of GoodReads' new policy of censorship.
