Old Soul by Susan Barker, 352 pages
Years ago, Jake lost a friend in a shocking and terrible way after meeting a terrible woman. After a chance meeting with someone else who lost someone in a similar way, Jake decides to track the woman down, learning the horrific ways she steals images and souls to stay alive. Told through a series of vignettes describing the many victims of the mysterious woman, this book is thoroughly creepy, though very literary, in that it makes the reader slowly ponder the coming terrors and the greater impacts of each interaction, rather than confronts us with visceral terror.
