Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens. ~The Shadow of the Wind

Mini-Book Review: Haunted Echoes by Julie Ann Howell



If you did not get enough of the ghost stories during the month of October then I recommend you pick up Haunted Echoes by Julie Ann Howell.  I have not read a classic ghost story in such a long time and this one has all of the elements! A creepy haunted house in a small town off the coast of Maine, ghosts who move skeleton keys and terrorize the dog, an author on retreat to write her next book and townspeople who will not tell her what is wrong with the bed and breakfast in which she is staying.....these elements wrap up into a ghost story that will have you hiding under the covers and looking under the eaves of the porch!  Highly recommended!

  2. I'm never done with these stories -- I'm fine with it year round! And really, something about New England is the perfect setting for creepy ghost stories! (It's my favorite place, I visit Boston 3 or 4 times a year to see family)!
