For fans of Gillian Flynn, Caroline Cooney, and R.L. Stine comes The Haunting from four-time Edgar Allen Poe Young Adult Mystery Award winner Joan Lowery Nixon. The walls whisper. The ceilings shriek. No one can survive a night of terror inside Graymoss. The old plantation house has been in Lia's family since the Civil War, but it's been possessed for generations by a malicious spirit, and Lia's family has always stayed far away.
Now her parents have decided to move into Graymoss, and Lia must either change their minds or chase away the horror lurking inside the old house. Using clues from her great-great-grandmother's diary and an old copy of Favorite Tales of Edgar Allan Poe, Lia must discover what--or who--the evil wants. "Nixon creates a spooky setting fairly dripping in atmosphere, then spins an ever-tightening thread of tension." -Kirkus Reviews "A book that will please mystery fans... and a] plot that] keeps readers guessing until the end." -School Library Journal "Nixon has woven a tale that grabs and holds her readers...It's a really fun read " -VOYA "A page-turner that will satisfy mystery and ghost story fans." -Booklist
