This short story moves like lightning. It's a series of letters and diary entries written by Sarah and her family, and not a single word is superfluousness. I like that. :)The author brilliantly recreates the speech style and mores of that story's time frame (late 1800s), and makes the letters/diary entries come to life, expressing the innermost feelings and fears of Sarah, her mom, and others. Not shockingly, the entries are about a ghostly presence that has invaded the family's upper middle class home and gripped the sensibilities of their fair and innocent daughter. It's the perfect recipe for all things strange and supernatural.This is case one. I can hardly wait for case two. Yippie! :)I recommend this short story for all adults YA.
