Most humans live with a constant fear of death. As living beings we strive to preserve our own mortality. The character who is a ghost helps to bridge this fear of death and the unknown. For when true love can transcend all of our physical barriers, the fear of death lessens. However, not all of the popular ghost romances feature immortal and non- human leading players.
Many romances offer ghostly characters that play a guardian angel role.
