To save his friends -- and his own soul -- Harry will have to pull off the ultimate trick without any magic...

{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes associated with ''Ghost Story'': ===
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Sir Stuart uses a large gun to blast a wraith to oblivion. Harry finds out that, much like everything else {{spoiler|a ghost}} can do, it is powered by memory. Stuart makes a great effort to recover that energy each time it is used. {{spoiler|Harry finds out later that he can use magic again if it is powered by his memories of using magic. However, if Harry does not recover that energy he himself will eventually dissipate since, as a ghost, Harry is made of nothing ELSE but memory. Harry, being Harry, realizes this just a bit too late.}}
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Harry finally realises that {{spoiler|Molly's}} feelings for him go beyond a mere crush. He also feels sorry that he cannot reciprocate them.
* {{spoiler|[[An Astral Projection, Not a Ghost]]}}: Ironically, one of the [[Twist Ending|twists]] of ''Ghost Story''. Maybe. {{spoiler|the things that Harry experienced, such as the "between", were most certainly real, and almost certainly restricted to ghosts.}}
* [[Back From the Dead]]: {{spoiler|Thanks to Mab, Demonreach, Uriel, and the efforts of a certain "parasite", Harry is brought back at the end.}}
* [[Badass Normal]]: Daniel Carpenter takes after both of his parents in the badass department, knife fighting with a supernaturally fast warlock.
* [[Battle in the Center of the Mind]]: {{spoiler|Molly engages the Corpsetaker in a mental battle in order to rescue Waldo Butters, whose body Corpsetaker has stolen. Then Corpsetaker tried to steal Molly's body in turn and is almost successful; the battle itself is represented as an actual battlefield, with Molly waging her end of things from a mental copy of the bridge of the [[Star Trek|Enterprise]]. Molly plays a scorched earth policy to delay Corpsetaker, and almost suicides to prevent Corpsetaker from winning - until Harry convinces her to call for help, at which point Mort hits Corpsetaker point-blank with a swarm of ''very'' pissed-off spirits.}}
