The premise

Two teen ghosts work alongside a clairvoyant to solve mysteries for their supernatural clientele — until a powerful witch complicates their plans.

Horror Vault's take

Edwin and Charles are two teenage ghosts who, rather than moving on to whatever waits beyond, have set up shop as paranormal private detectives. Joined by a clairvoyant with troubles of her own, the trio takes on cases from a clientele that most living investigators wouldn't dare touch. The world they navigate is rich with dark fantasy and irreverent humor, but a formidable witch lurking in the wings threatens to upend everything they've built. Based on characters from Neil Gaiman's comics, the series balances charm and genuine unease in equal measure.
