I believe in 'ghosts,' not the idea of them but believe they exist. I have a friend who owns an old schoolhouse turned into a cafe in a small town in Minnesota, with a ghost. She pushes pots off the counter and slams doors. It's a really good story, one for another day...
Michel Faber... I love his writing and devoured Crimson Petal on holiday. I can't wait to get lost in the language and depth in which he writes.
I hope you have a few books you are anxiously waiting to read this fall, the excitement of buying a book the day it publishes, opening the spine and getting to know the characters... it's divine.
What are you reading this fall?
But the Walkers are not alone. Prim Alice and the cynical Sandra, long dead former residents bound to the house, linger within its claustrophobic walls.
The living and dead are each haunted by painful truths that will soon surface with explosive force. When a new ghost appears, and Trenton begins to communicate with her, the spirit and human worlds collide—with cataclysmic results.
