Prom night in Buckley Township. Not exactly the most wonderful night of the year.

It's the fifteenth of July, and that means it's time for another stop along the road that runs from Sparrow Hill to the Last Chance Diner; it's time to take another trip in the company of Rose Marshall, crankiest hitchhiking ghost this side of the Atlantic Ocean. With only five stories to go, the stakes are getting higher, the challenges are getting stranger, and the shadow of Bobby Cross is never far away.

Issue 55 of The Edge of Propinquity is live, and with it, the seventh of the Sparrow Hill Road stories is available. "Do You Want to Dance?" takes us out of the ghostroads and back into the land of the living, where a girl named Bethany is preparing for the prom night of her life...and her plans include a ghost by the name of Rose. So get your prom dress, get your corsage, and get ready to stay until the music stops.

There are a lot of stories trapped and tangled in the twilight. This is only one of them. But it's the one I have to tell.

Welcome to the ghostroads.
