The neighborhood children knew something was strange,
"Would you be scared to live in a haunted house?"
they whispered to one another.
The Wilsons: Joel, Katie and son Connor, were excited to move into the charming old house. But how can they share a house with a spirit that learns from their actions and feeds on their emotions? Their lives are upended by strange events, frightful apparitions, and eventual tragedy.
When new residents move in the cycle continues.
Humans come and go, and the house watches. The spirit shapes the humans' lives, and it in turn is shaped by them, at times mischievous, curious, caring, or malevolent. And it will be there, waiting, for the next occupants.
"Kim Smuga-Otto's A Ghost's Story is a profound meditation on memory, grief, and the idea of home. With an unforgettable narrator and a jaw-dropping ending, it explores the deep ache of human connections in life and death. Beautifully written, eerie and heartbreaking by turns, it is a haunted-house tale unlike any other." ?Elana Gomel, author of The Hungry Ones and Nightwood.
