As the saying goes, dead men tell no tales\. They only leave tales behind\.     Toma Andrews, aged 14, has always felt like an outsider\. She enjoys spending time in graveyards, and feels more comfortable among the dead than the living\.    That is, until Toma meets a strange girl in her local graveyard who might be a real ghost\.   The girl asks Toma if she will stay for a while and listen to a story\. A story about a girl called Emmeline Burns, who died a tragic death back in 1851\.   Toma is compelled to listen, but at the same time, she feels uneasy\. After all, what can she do? How could she ever hope to help somebody who has already died?           Approx 20k words of text    A short, sweet story that can be read in one sitting    A linear story with no choices or branches    Gorgeous artwork    An original soundtrack     Cute girls in Victorian outfits\!    A happy ending, despite the title\! ♡
