Death of a Ghost [Paperback]

Charles Butler (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2006

"The face was yellowish—brass. The long, kind, sickly features were gone. Ossian saw jagged mask holes where no light shone, and brass lips rounded as if to speak his name. "Ossian!" it shouted. "Ossian! Ossian! Ossian!" When Ossian reluctantly returns to Lychfont House with his artist father, he begins questioning the reality of childhood memories and wondering why the place seems to hold such power over him. One thing he is sure of—the ghosts are still haunting him. Another fantastically creepy thriller from Charles Butler that will keep readers spellbound to the last page. Charles Butler's previous books include The Darkling, Timons Tide, and The Fetch of Mardy Watt.

This review is from: Death of a Ghost (Paperback)

Teens who love supernatural thrillers will find Death of a Ghost Birth of a Nightmare most pleasing: Ossian returns to an old house with his artist father and finds his childhood fears returning, along with memories of hauntings and strange events. Tension is well done and builds delicately through a spiderweb of plots and subplots in this fine haunting, chilling tale.
