The Ghost Notebooks by Ben Dolnick
5.0

"Your own life is terrifying, but life is an unending astonishment."

I loved this book. I loved the rawness of it, despite the almost eye roll approach to ghost and spirits and a house that's almost alive. It was my kind of creepy, my kind of angst. I was on edge and kept fascinated, and I especially loved the interludes of pieces of Wright's writings and parts of Hannah's journal and teaching hints. It's cool when a book like this comes together in the end, when you didn't see ahead of time all the ways it could, and I'm glad I was kept on edge til the end.
