Madame Bast by Matthew Sini (reading)

Jaz is a university student and she’s also a rationalist: she doesn’t believe in god or ghosts or any of that new age mumbo jumbo. But when she jokingly attends a séance hosted by the outrageous psychic medium Madame Bast, Jaz becomes increasingly haunted by a voice from her past. While her friends succumb to the medium’s tricks, Jaz struggles to maintain her rationality in the face of the dead not quite staying dead. Madam Bast summons the spectres of belief, scepticism, and grief to explore the baggage we all carry from adolescence into adulthood.
