A book cover, the title 'This house isn't haunted but we are' appears over the silhouette of a small house, windows glowing like eyes. Author is Stephen Howard.

Book cover, title is "When other people saw us they saw the dead". It is a black, indigenous and people of colour anthology, edited by Lauren T Davila. There's a spooky heap of items: a candle, a ghost, a skull and a scroll with a quill.
