| The Last to See Me by M DresslerThe Last to See Me portrays a parallel universe where ghosts are recognized as real, but the living do everything they can to eradicate them. Having dwelt for a century as a ghost in a grand California mansion called Lambry House, Emma Rose Finnis finally must come to terms with a ghost hunter. Set on a dramatic, foggy, wave-battered coastline, Emma's residence offers a perfect atmosphere for a spooky story, while her timelines in life and death alternate compellingly in this gripping tale of star-crossed lovers. |

| The Grip of It by Jac JemcAfter their previously ideal relationship falters, Julie and James decide they need to start anew in a different dwelling. They purchase a run-down Victorian house in a quiet area, ignoring the odd noises they hear when they view it -- but there's more to the house than meets the eye. Nor is the couple's relationship all sweetness and light. This classically Gothic-style tale twists and turns as it recalls the literary mastery of Henry James. |
