Can the food we cook summon more than just memories?

Join debut novelist Daria Lavelle as she introduces her darkly comic and hauntingly delicious novel Aftertaste, a supernatural feast that blends the culinary world with the afterlife.

When dead-end dishwasher Kostya discovers the ability to summon spirits through the food he cooks, he embarks on a journey to open a New York City restaurant that serves closure – something he's craved for as long as he can remember.

There are just three problems:

Kostya has some ghosts of his own.
His advancing menu of spirit cuisine is threatening the stability of the Afterlife itself.
He's falling in love with Maura, a party psychic with her own secret connection to the Afterlife – who also happens to be the one person who knows he must be stopped.
Born in Kyiv and raised in America, Daria will bring her unique perspective to this imaginative odyssey through food and love, life and death.

Indulge in this literary feast before everyone else gets a taste, with a major motion picture already in development, Aftertaste is destined to be one of these books everyone’s going to be talking about. Reserve your seat at the table now.
