“In Why Ghosts Appear, Todd and LJC Shimoda tell a terrifically vivid story about the nature and shape of possibility. You find yourself in a tug-of-war with yourself, lingering over sentences while pressing on, eager to see what happens next, to uncover—or surmise—how the details fit together and, above that, what it all might mean. That back-and-forth, between imagining and knowing, suspicion and satisfaction, controlling and letting go, is echoed—and amplified—by the book’s visuals, which sometimes seep into the story by way of a page’s margins and at other times fill page after page with allusive snippets of info and evocative touches of ink-loaded brushes. Linda’s images do not interrupt Todd’s narrative so much as they bubble up from the nooks and crannies between chapters, elaborating upon what has just happened or intimating what is about to unfold. Together, the Shimodas’ artistry turns a detective story grounded in the facts of reality into a deft investigation of how and where restless souls find meaning. Reading between the lines never looked better, nor left you with so much to ponder.”
