About this listen
Joana and her younger brother Peter aren't used to setting down roots. Ever since the violent murder of their mother, their father can't stay in one place for long, haunted by the literal ghosts of the past. He has what he calls "the Whisperings," and will do anything to protect his children from the horrors that torment him.
When the family moves to Burlington, Vermont, Joana thinks they've finally found a place to call home. They rent the lower half of a creepy yet comfortable mansion downtown, and Joana actually begins to fit in at school, thanks in part to Willem, a handsome (and single) classmate.
But a near-death experience awakens the Whisperings in Joana, and she soon realizes her family isn't the only family living in the house. She meets the Keils — ghosts forced to relive their own gruesome murders every night. As they say, misery loves company . . . and suddenly, Joana is forced to protect the ones closest to her from a supernatural threat, in this horrifying haunted house story for teen readers.
Critic Reviews
"YA horror maestro Sutherland brings a new chiller to the scene with this heart-thumping, gory ghost story. It will keep readers on the edge of their seats and turning the pages well after sunset. For those who love a scary story, a thriller, or just a good old-fashioned jump scare, this is one to check out. . . . This fantastically thrilling ghost story will have readers flinching at all the little noises that go bump in the night. Selectors should pick up multiple copies, as this won’t stay on the shelves long." —STARRED REVIEW, School Library Journal
"The story is marked by an eerie sense of unreality, as hallucinations and dreams interweave with very real danger . . . A spooky tale of family trauma." —Kirkus Reviews
"Sutherland excels at description and scene setting; the graphic horror segments of this novel will definitely please fans of the genre. . . . a good suggestion for teens fascinated by [Stephen King] but not yet ready to tackle his lengthy tomes." —Youth Services Book Review
