"I hate ghost stories. Too many of them are autobiographical."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Rose Marshall is the Shadow of Sparrow Hill Road. She's the Lady in Green. She's the Phantom Prom Date.Ghost Roads (previously Ghost Stories) is a series of short stories (later collected into a novel) by Seanan McGuire about a ghost named Rose Marshall, who crashed and burned on Sparrow Hill Road in 1952 and has been hitching the ghost roads ever since as an occasional psychopomp, trying to help wayward souls she meets along the way...and to get revenge for her own murder. Sparrow Hill Road is the first book in the now titled "Ghost Roads" Series. A sequel, titled The Girl in the Green Silk Gown was released on July 17, 2018. Book 3, Angel of the Overpass, was released on May 11, 2021. There's also a short story, "Train Yard Blues", published in the anthology Coins of Chaos and another, "Last Call at the Last Chance", available on the author's Patreon.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The stories are based on the various Urban Legends about Hitchhiking ghosts and on songs about roads, cars, dates, and broken hearts. Rose also has a lot to say about road culture, car culture, date culture and diner culture along the way.The series originated as 12 short stories published online at www.edgeofpropinquity.net over the course of 2010 as monthly installments: "Good Girls Go to Heaven" "Dead Man's Party" "Tell Laura I Love Her" "Building a Mystery" "El Viento Del Diablo" "Last Dance with Mary Jane" "Do You Want To Dance?" "Dead Man's Curve" "Last Train" "Bad Moon Rising" "Faithfully" "Thunder Road"It only remained online for one year, though "Good Girls Go to Heaven" is still available at the author's web site as a teaser.Revised versions of these stories (except "Bad Moon Rising") were collected into a novel, Sparrow Hill Road, which was released in 2014.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })As one might suspect from the story titles, music plays an important role in Rose Marshall's story, as Seanan McGuire is also a musician and songwriter. Rose has been the subject of several of her songs, including "Pretty Little Dead Girl", "Graveyard Rose", "Waxen Wings", "When I Drive", "Counting Crows", "Hanging Tree", and "On Dead Man's Hill". Note that these songs mostly represent the Urban Legend version of Rose so they don't correspond exactly with the stories. You can read the lyrics on her website, or on the InCryptid Wiki.

Jacob Marley Apparel: Played with. Rose appears in the green silk prom dress she died in unless she concentrates otherwise and/or is wearing a borrowed coat. Her preferred appearance is the white tank top she once borrowed from Gary and the blue jeans her mother didn't like her to wear, and short brown hair. She reverts to the prom dress under stress, which invariably means in the worst possible situations.

The Sociopath
 Ghost Roads / int_19851b86
comment
The Sociopath: Bobby Cross is a very charismatic individual but is described as a man who'd murder the world if he got to live a little longer. In order to keep himself immortal, he's destroyed the various ghosts he's met over the decades by feeding them to his car in order to outrun mortality itself. He is also devoid of any remorse for this and is a manipulative killer who's willing to dispose of anyone who is not of use to him.

Haunted Fetter: An inverted version called Ghost-Tokens. If one of the living keeps something of a ghost in memory of them and reminisces strongly enough about them, it can be used to call and manifest an existing Ghost. Rose's is the corsage Gary was going to give her for Prom. As soon as she's free she makes sure to destroy it.

 Ghost Roads / int_2f36d97
comment
Older Than They Look: Rose and several of the other ghosts and supernatural creatures she meets along the ghost roads. Rose has been 16 since 1952. Routewitches who spend enough time in the twilight will age much more slowly, although they do eventually die. Apple, the Queen, looks about Rose's age, and has since she escaped from Manzanar. Another routewitch, Paul, is actually around 70 years old, but was reverted to a teenage body as penance for trying to overthrow Apple.

Hero with Bad Publicity: Thanks to the urban legends, Rose is typically blamed for all the deaths that either happen while she is present or that she's actively trying to prevent. In reality, the worst she's done to an innocent driver is run away when she sensed Bobby Cross coming for him (which she still feels bad about).

Batman Gambit: Bobby negating Rose's Power Tattoo with Dana's blood makes her vulnerable to him again, so she goes to the routewitches for help, who tell her to become incarnate and "die" to reverse it. It turns out he knew she would do that, and blackmailed the family overseeing her incarnation to make her stay alive, and even more vulnerable to him. And then it's revealed that he enlisted Laura's help from the beginning, knowing that Rose would ask her for help if she got away from Bobby, and the only reason she survives his Xanatos Gambit is she's able to convince Laura to do a Heel–Face Turn.

Rescued from the Underworld: Inverted in the second book. Rose is brought back to life through an Unwanted Revival, so she and her allies devise a plan where she will descend to the Greek underworld with a companion, ask Persephone and Hades to let her leave, and then have her companion deliberately look back at the last moment, returning her to her ghostly existence. Her boyfriend is already dead, and Apple can't leave her Place of Power, so the only person who can be Rose's Orpheus is Laura, her former (?) enemy.

Blessed with Suck
 Ghost Roads / int_3c3f28a5
comment
Blessed with Suck: Routewitches are fundamentally nomadic; they get their power from traveling and have a deep need to be on the move. As queen, Apple is immensely strong, eternally young, gifted with extra powers, able to commune directly with their goddess...and can't go anywhere. Well, she could—there's no actual physical barrier or geas preventing her—but things usually go haywire if the monarch leaves the Ocean Lady and she's much too responsible. So, until she steps down (and stepping down usually leads to death), Apple can only experience travel through the tribute of her subjects.

Fish out of Temporal Water: A downplayed example in the second book. Rose has been dead since 1952, but in 2016 is brought Back from the Dead via an Unwanted Revival. She has some experience with the modern world, since she's been interacting with living people all that time, but she's never had a reason to carry money, or go inside, say, a Target, or on a plane. She also has no ID and everyone she knew in life is now dead.

comment
Artistic License – History: Rose supposedly died in 1945 in the original stories but the car culture references are all more appropriate to The '50s. The novel retcons the year of Rose's death to 1952 but still mentions rock and roll music three years too soon. The original song "Pretty Little Dead Girl" gives her year of death as 1953, but "1952" doesn't rhyme with "cemetery".

Power Incontinence: If Rose hadn't died, she'd have grown up to be a routewitch. Routewitches get their power from travel. Combine Rose suddenly being made alive, having an anti-magic charm washed out of her system, and having traveled thousands and thousands of miles throughout the continental US, and you get nearly every road in the country shouting in her head at the same time. Ouch.

While waiting for Persephone's messenger to return, she's attacked by a creature made up of a swarm of flies and narrowly avoids being devoured by a demonic train.

Image Song: Rose has no fewer than 8: "Pretty Little Dead Girl" tells the urban legend (or as McGuire puts it, the "filthy libel") version of Rose's story. "Graveyard Rose" tells the flipside of Rose's legend as the "Lady in the Diner"/truckdriver's psychopomp. "Sparrow Hill Road" is another song, about her role as a psychopomp.

Our Ghosts Are Different

comment
Our Ghosts Are Different: Rose can be brought back to life, temporarily, by borrowing a sweater, jacket or coat. Only then can she enjoy a meal, a good cup of coffee, sex, etc. and only if those things are freely given to her by another. Routewitches usually end up as ghosts after their deaths. Roads and diners and cars, if loved and traveled and thought of enough, can become ghosts too. There are various specific kinds of ghost. Road ghosts include hitchers, homecomers, and white ladies, and there are non-road ghosts as well. Apparently there are people out there who love their cornfields, houses, and even spiders enough to create ghosts of them in the twilight, as Rose finds out when she makes her way through a ghost cornfield with ghost spiders.

Explained in more depth in the related InCryptid series, the Crossroads is an Eldritch Abomination, a "dimensional parasite" that usurped the true Genius Loci of Earth, making its bargains much more malicious than before. It can show up wherever two roads cross, though old, established sites are the best for calling upon it.

Covers Always Lie
 Ghost Roads / int_7315fd38
comment
Covers Always Lie: Sort of. Rose is shown on the cover with dark hair, jeans, and what looks like a 50's diner uniform's top. In the book, the jeans are the only thing that is correct - her hair was bleached with lemon juice at the time of her death, and her normal attire is either a tank top with jeans or the green silk prom dress she died in. But as a ghost, Rose can alter her clothing, makeup, and hair however she likes as long as it doesn't involve altering her phantom body (no piercings, but clamp earrings mimicking piercings work fine) and seems to prefer having short, brown hair. Word of God is the cover represents Rose as McGuire has always envisioned her.

Supernatural Aid: Rose often has to turn to the routewitches or the gods themselves for aid. In the first book, she goes to their queen's court, where she gets a Power Tattoo that imbues her with the blessing of Persephone, protecting her from Bobby Cross. In the third book, when she's finally about to confront Bobby, she prays for a weapon, and finds a scythe in the dirt. It becomes part of her when her act of vengeance turns her into one of the Furies.

Unproblematic Prostitution
 Ghost Roads / int_98ba5dfe
comment
Unproblematic Prostitution: Hitchhiker ghosts can only receive favors freely given, and sex is the only way Rose has to repay people for rides or meals. She doesn't particularly mind because there can be no consequencesnote As a ghost, Rose cannot get pregnant, nor can she catch or spread disease and it's an experience she wished she'd had in life. She's also not above using "a trip to the woods" to delay someone long enough to miss their appointment with death. As a "hitcher"-type ghost Rose is fueled by "borrowed life" and describes herself addicted to things she can only really experience while wearing a borrowed coat - cheeseburgers, coffee, and sex, though sex seems to be more something she enjoys in passing than craves.

Dangerous Clifftop Road: The backstory involves Rose going for a drive at "Sidewinder Ravine", where Bobby Cross rammed her car over the edge. Recounted in the Image Song "Pretty Little Dead Girl":

Boy Meets Ghoul
 Ghost Roads / int_bf780240
comment
Boy Meets Ghoul: Played with. Rose does sometimes have sex with the living, but only when she's wearing a coat, which makes her functionally alive until sunrise (or she takes off the coat). The only boy she ever truly loved was Gary, her boyfriend before she died, and after he dies they're Together in Death. The Filk Song "On Dead Man's Hill" is from the point of view of a guy deliberately seeking out a ghostly romance.

And then it's revealed that he enlisted Laura's help from the beginning, knowing that Rose would ask her for help if she got away from Bobby, and the only reason she survives his Xanatos Gambit is she's able to convince Laura to do a Heel–Face Turn.

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: When Rose is brought back to life, she contacts her old sort-of enemy Laura Moorhead, since she's the only person Rose knows who's still alive and has publically available contact info (the Price family doesn't like strangers knowing how to reach them, and at that point, Rose counts as a stranger).

Ghostly Goals
 Ghost Roads / int_c5835f29
comment
Ghostly Goals: Type A mainly. Ghosts can hang around long enough to find their killer and that **can** be it. Other times they fall into a pattern that prolongs their existence like giving directions, hitching rides or killing people. Bobby Cross makes the claim that Rose achieved all that she did because she had her "task" of dealing with him over the decades which is why she had to build herself into the force she was, Rose calls this bull of course. The crossover The Ghost of Bourbon Street notes that ghosts usually solve their violent murders by themselves and enlisting help, especially from among the living is considered gauche.

Shout-Out
 Ghost Roads / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Ghostbusters: Rose encounters some college students looking to catch ghosts. Specifically The Ghost At The Diner. A Christmas Carol: Rose opines Scrooge was right about most spectral visitations being indigestion. Stephen King (which doubles as Creator In-Joke because Seanan McGuire is a huge fan of his). The stories are all named after popular songs. "Tell Laura I Love Her" is notable because it's an example of the "lost my baby in a car wreck" genre that was popular in the late 50's to early 60's; "Dead Man's Curve" because it's about a wreck similar to the one that claimed Rose. A scene in the third book where a ghost dinosaur attacks a car brings to mind Jurassic Park.

Flat-Earth Atheist: Rose, who has met some of the divine creatures that hang out on the ghostroads, but refuses to believe just the same. She considers any beings that call themselves gods to be questionably sane and quite full of themselves. After she actually meets Hades and Persephone she shifts into more of a Nay-Theist.

Hunting the Most Dangerous Game
 Ghost Roads / int_d2566b32
comment
Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: The Halloween rites are a twisted version in which living humans hunt temporarily incarnated ghosts. If they kill a ghost, they get an extra year of life, and the ghost ceases to exist. However, ghosts can fight back (though they only have farm tools against guns), and if they kill one of the living, they get to stay alive for another year. However, they must repeat this the next year, or they will also cease to exist.

Beware of Hitchhiking Ghosts
 Ghost Roads / int_dfe36898
comment
Beware Of Hitch Hiking Ghosts: Played with. The legends speak of Rose as a malevolent spirit or at least a harbinger of death. The truth is a lot more nuanced. Homecomers, a slightly different permutation of hitchhiking ghosts from Rose, are a straight example. Their fate shows what endlessly trying to get home, never being able to, and finally watching that home inevitably disappear (as time passes, people move, etc) would do to somebody's mind. They basically can't help killing after a certain point.

Comfort Food: In this case, diner food. Malts, milkshakes, cheeseburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, golden fries and pie — especially comforting to ghosts who only get to sample the pleasures of the living when wearing a borrowed coat. Food tastes like ashes any other time. Also, at one point Verity Price remarks that Aunt Rose will go a long way for a good beer.

Layered World: Aside from the daylight (the living world) there's the twilight, midnight and the starlight, the first is the afterlife but you tend to get more abstract and mythological as you go deeper. Human ghosts don't tend to stray from the twilight, and for good reason. Some among the living, like routewitches and Bobby Cross, can travel through the twilight without dying.

The Charmer

The Charmer: Bobby Cross, although he's the nightmare version, who now uses it as a weapon. It's in Girl in the Green Silk Gown where you really see it, given he's the main antagonist. Among other things, he talks a young routewitch into killing herself so her blood can be used to damage Rose's protection against him. Then when Rose undergoes a dangerous ritual to restore it, he entraps the daughter of the family running said ritual to blackmail them into becoming his accomplices in hunting Rose.

Blue-and-Orange Morality: The crossroads guardians aren't evil, they just only care about the interests of the crossroads. Anyone who can pay can play. The crossroads ghosts are supposed to be a check on this, as having once been human they care about the damage bargains can do, but an inexperienced ghost can be taken advantage of. Like Bobby took advantage of Mary Dunlavy.

Spotting the Thread: Bethany gets Rose a wrap for her dress, so she'll have a "coat" that won't stand out at the dance. She says she was able to match the color from the yearbook picture. Thing is, though, Rose died before she made it to prom, so there aren't any pictures of her in her dress. This is an early clue that Bethany is working with Bobby Cross.
