All this is to say that I think reading Beloved as only a ghost story sets aside the other pieces at play in this book. It's chilling both because of the clearly paranormal activities taking place throughout, but also because so many of the horrors within the book are very, very real.

She shook her head from side to side, resigned to her rebellious brain. Why was there nothing it refused? No misery, no regret, no hateful picture too rotten to accept? Like a greedy child it snatched up everything. Just once, could it say, No thank you? I just ate and can’t hold another bite?
