We suggest and briefly review a new sort of superrenormalizable models of higher
derivative quantum gravity. The higher derivative terms in the action can be introduced in
such a way that all the unphysical massive states have complex poles. According to the
literature on Lee–Wick quantization, in this case the theory can be formulated as unitary,
since all massive ghosts-like degrees of freedom are unstable.
