But it always bugged me a little bit that you never saw Scrooge doing the work of becoming a better person. He's one of the greats of humanity in terms of authorship.
"And don't get me wrong, Dickens is Dickens for a reason. "The biggest inspiration for the novel in its current form is Dickens' A Christmas Carol, because Wallace is my take on Ebeneezer Scrooge," Klune tells SYFY WIRE. In the process, he starts becoming a better person. As Wallace slowly comes to terms with his own passing - and his new status as a "ghost" - he gets to know Hugo, as well as Mei (the reaper who collected him and brought him there), Nelson (Hugo's ghostly grandfather), and Apollo (Hugo's now-ghostly dog). The novel tells the story of Wallace Price, a recently-deceased lawyer who finds himself transported to Charon's Crossing, a teahouse run by Hugo Freeman, a "ferryman" who works to help people cross over into the afterlife. Most stories end when a person dies. However, in TJ Klune’s latest novel, Under the Whispering Door, death is simply another chapter in a larger journey.
