One of my favorite ghost books. It's a how to be a friend with a ghost type book. The do's and don'ts, what to feed a ghost, etc. The story is wonderful and the art is just adorable!

A bit slow for me but an okay haunted house

Cute little book. I wanted more ghosts, and the ending felt a little rushed. I‘m not the intended age audience, but also the sheer amount of Harry Potter references in this 5 hour audiobook was ridiculous. This book was published in 2018, so around a time where more folks were becoming aware of That Woman‘s bigotry (which she‘s always held), and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The $8500 house the author wanted so badly. What?!
The Historic McConnell House in Wurtland, Kentucky, in Greenup County, near the Ohio River.  Est. 1833.

I enjoy haunting memoirs. The author‘s story appears on the tv series Paranormal Witness, Season 2, Episode 2…but her book is much better. For years, she lived in fear in the old Brooklyn house she and her family lived in, until finding out what happened to the restless spirits occupying her home, and why they were there. Fascinating, personal. Books like this help open up the conversation for what many experience but fear to talk about.

When I started reading this book, it reminded me a lot of Poltergeist (film). Here is a memoir from the 1980s in Crosby, TX: when a family unknowingly moves into a new subdivision that was built over a historical Black cemetery, they quickly find themselves in an unreal situation. I couldn‘t help but be reminded of how many Black communities have been destroyed and covered up (Central Park, Lake Lanier, etc).

Thatbooknerd Shown: when you look up Black Hope Cemetery on Google Earth Street View, a street and suburb comes up. There is no sign that a cemetery ever was. Below: possibly the only photo ever taken of the cemetery before it was bulldozed. 1mo

Night Side of the River | Jeanette Winterson

Night Side of the River, by Jeanette Winterson (2023)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A collection of ghost stories and personal reflections on the paranormal by a contemporary master of short fiction.

Review: The worst thing I can say about this is that it‘s uneven. It starts off strong, with some seriously disturbing tales of haunting by AI and other virtual technology. ⬇️

Mattsbookaday The rest of the collection returns to more familiar territory but, with a couple exceptions, felt a bit phoned in. (This was exacerbated by my favourite story in the collection being previously featured in her collection of Christmas stories.) But an uneven collection by Winterson is still well-worth reading.

Bookish Pair: For another collection of stories with frightening tech, Uranians, by Theodore McCombs (2023)

So adorable! This book is about a ghost who wants to be a top ghost but is the power really helping this ghost or will it make him depressed? Cute story and love the graphics!
