Publisher's Summary
Sally has recently left an unfulfilling job to volunteer at a living history museum, where she is assigned to the Death House. Every day, she dons Victorian mourning garb and describes traditional funeral services to tourists. It sounds depressing as hell, but for Sally, it’s less depressing than her tepid marriage to her childhood sweetheart.
This becomes all too clear when she accidentally travels through time and space to a liminal world where the ghosts of the living history museum haunt its grounds. There, she meets and falls hard for Victorian-era pretty boy Nathaniel. Their heady, romantic encounters douse Sally in the sad reality that her marriage is anything but and leave her tempted to join Nathaniel permanently in his realm.
Is Sally’s marriage literally a fate worse than death, or is there another way altogether?

Dangerous for suicidal young people
This would be really good if it was a full length story. It was spoilt by being so rushed. Warning! It could be dangerous if read by any Young person who is feeling that life is not worth living. This is not intended, but my work in suicide prevention Is what informs this statement

Romance is lost
I was really enjoying this story. The leading lady, Sally, seemed to be interesting in her choice of hobbies and on her reflections. Meeting Nathaniel through the most unexpected of ways and experiencing a new passion advanced quickly, but was sweet at the same time.
But, then the tangent flipped and suddenly there was a major feminist influence out of the far left wing.
All sweetness was gone and all would be heartbroken, except the leading lady herself.
It could have worked well into a longer story, that was full of adventure and experiencing new things. I would be really interested to see that happen. Just hopefully with a hint of a happily ever after.
