Boogaloos by Douglas E Wright

Product Description
BOOGALOOS is a 30,000 word novella written by Canadian Supernatural Suspense author Douglas E. Wright. A writer who's style has been described as a blend of Stephen King and Dean Koontz. The first book of the 'Crozier Buck Series.'
Dead letters are not always dead . . . sometimes they kill . . .
This story is a sad, and sometimes poignant look at relationships, age, and mortality with a final horrific twist.
Postal worker Crozier Buck is suffering not only from arthritis and the threat of forced retirement, but he also lives with the memories of his wife's death from twenty-years previous.
His friend, Jerry Atkins, is concerned that Crozier won't live long if he continues to work at the post office. It's time for his friend to retire; do something different. His mind and body are far too fragile at this advanced stage.
Crozier has decided he won't retire; there's no way he's leaving the post office or Rebecca's ghostly remains behind. While he needs her memories to stay sane, he also needs the dead-letter position to prove he's not over-the-hill or out-of-date.
After discussing the dead-letter job with its retiring clerk, Crozier realizes he has an unusual gift. A talent to keep ghostly creatures at bay. And if not used properly, it could get him and others killed, in the bowels of the dead-letter office.
And, if that isn't enough, Jerry discovers that another postal clerk knows of his relationship with Crozier's wife moments before her death.
