Soon, though, the new house begins to lose its allure. Strange noises wake Travis at night, and his dreams are plagued by ghosts. Barely glimpsed shapes flit through the darkened hallways, but strangest of all is the bizarre set of wooden stairs that rises cryptically out of the lake behind the house.

Pickpick

Travis moves into a house haunted by a child ghost. He tries to find out what happened and the child's story interweaves with his own tragic past. The book works on a creepy level and as a mystery, but the relationships between Travis and his wife, his remaining brother, and an elderly reporter felt real to me. The child's tale is affecting as well. While this is not a book about gore and jump scares, sadness and regret can be just as frightening.
