The Haunting
Overview & Summary
Fifteen-year-old Lia Starling learns that her family has inherited Graymoss, an old Louisiana plantation house long avoided by relatives because of a malevolent spirit said to haunt it, and must use clues from a great-great-grandmother's diary to figure out what the evil presence wants before her parents move the family in for good. Joan Lowery Nixon's gothic mystery, from a four-time Edgar Award-winning author, builds mounting suspense around a genuinely eerie old house.
