About this audiobook
Theater critic Artemus Bancroft isn’t sure what to expect when his aunt summons him home to California with vague but urgent pleas about being unable to cope with “the situation.”
The situation turns out to be the apparent haunting of Green Lanterns Inn—along with alarming rumors that long-suffering Auntie Halcyone may have murdered her philandering husband.
In fact, the rumors seem to have been started by the late Mr. Hyde himself—from beyond the grave.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5How awesome was this book wow wow wow wow!!!! I love it!!❤️
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I honestly couldn’t tell if there was a real ghost or not, that’s how well this story kept its secrets. Loved the characters, and the narrator did such a great job of bringing Artemus and his thoughts to life!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I've been bingeing Josh Lanyon lately, and this is my new favorite! Seance on a Summer's Night is so scary! Boy did this one keep me guessing!!! Artemus Bancroft is a wonderful lead character. He's very relatable, because we've all returned home to find nonsense afoot - but it's usually home repairs, not ghosts. Poor Aunt Halcyone is so sweet and loving and suddenly so mysterious. And Seamus does not sound like a real name to me :)
I listened to this book on Scribd. Matt Haynes was a wonderful narrator. His pacing, voices and accents were perfect. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5As a gay man I really wanted to like this book. It was a mystery novel with a romantic twist with two male characters, but something was off and I couldn't put my finger on it. It felt superficial and lacked substance, and I was confused. I looked up the author and realised it was a straight woman who writes MM romance novels. I know this is a big issue and I am not going to get into who is allowed and not allowed to write about other people's experiences. But, as a gay guy, I can say that I didn't feel like this book was written for me. And that was before I even realised who the author was (they have a very male writer's name). I am all for light, fun, detective romance novels, but this doesn't feel authentic at all. I'm sure others might enjoy it, but it lacked the credibility and voice of what gay men experience, which is some level of discrimination.
