An Asylum for Writers of Speculative Fiction

According to much received wisdom you should be able to sum up any WIP in one sentence that will provoke the reader to ask for more information. Presumably this is for the purpose of query letters. I always find this hard - my summations seem lackluster - but I'll go first.

1. The Sundered Light is a Futuristic Fantasy about a "gifted" girl fighting invaders from another dimension in a world which forgot everything forty years ago.

2. Shadow of the Lake is a Paranormal Thriller about a vengeance ghost who's in love with the nephew of her murderer, and the problems they have with a ghost-eating supernatural assassin.


So how would other people sum up their current original WIPs?
