The Watcher In The Woods
by Florence Engle Randall[From the back cover:] "Jan had felt it the very first day, walking up to the door of the old house. She had known the watcher was there as they knocked and waited for old Mrs. Carstairs to come. And the little old woman, glancing at the woods, had known it was there, too. No one wanted to discuss it, certainly not mom or dad. Then mirrors were mysteriously broken, and 10-year-old Ellie began hearing strange songs and receiving even stranger messages. Jan couldn't explain it, but she was afraid. It hadn't been easy for Jan, moving to this new town and starting a new school when she was almost 16. Meeting Mark seemed to make it better, but would he believe her if she told him about the watcher--the watcher in the woods?"

The Water Ghost and Others
by John Kendrick BangsThe trouble with Harrowby Hall was that it was haunted, and, what was worse, the ghost did not content itself with merely appearing at the bedside of the afflicted person who saw it, but persisted in remaining there for one mortal hour before it would disappear.

The owners of Harrowby Hall had done their utmost to rid themselves of the damp and dewy lady who rose up out of the best bedroom floor at midnight, but without avail. They had tried stopping the clock, so that the ghost would not know when it was midnight; but she made her appearance just the same, with that fearful miasmatic personality of hers, and there she would stand until everything about her was thoroughly saturated.

I&’m in love with this story and the way Tyriek White breathes life into these characters." —Jacqueline Woodson, MacArthur Fellow and author of Another Brooklyn "This novel is so New York—so, so New York—yet so deeply southern on lower frequencies.
