Sam Wakefield lives with her mother in their ancestral home in Virginia, outside a small town where the Wakefields have gotten the reputation of being particularly spooky, even witches. Makes sense, as their sprawling mansion is haunted by a century and a half of Wakefield ghosts, with whom Sam and her mother get along just fine. But when Sam's pregnant sister comes to stay after a fight with her husband, the ghosts take on a new and scarier method of haunting, offering unnerving glimpses of Sam's unborn nephew. While she wants to avoid the sources of these particular spooks, Sam's not sure how to do it safely, for herself and her family.
This is a Shirley Jackson-esque gothic ghost story, but with a twist that turns the horror up to 11. A fantastically creepy tale, though not one to be read at night. *shudder*
