Diary of a Haunting
Author: M. Verano
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 148143070X
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
In the tradition of Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project, an American teen recounts the strange events that occur after she moves into a new—and very haunted—home with her family in this chilling diary that features photos and images of what she experienced. Letters, photographs, and a journal…all left behind in the harrowing aftermath. Following her parents’ high-profile divorce, Paige and her brother are forced to move to Idaho with their mother, and Paige doesn’t have very high hopes for her new life. The small town they’ve moved to is nothing compared to the life she left behind in LA. And the situation is made even worse by the drafty old mansion they’ve rented that’s filled with spiders and plenty of other pests that Paige can’t even bear to imagine. Pretty soon, strange things start to happen around the house—one can of ravioli becomes a dozen, unreadable words start appearing on the walls, and Paige’s little brother begins roaming the house late at night. And there’s something not right about the downstairs neighbor who seems to know a lot more than he’s letting on. Things only get creepier when she learns about the cult that conducted experimental rituals in the house almost one hundred years earlier. The more Paige investigates, the clearer it all becomes: there’s something in the house, and whatever it is…and it won’t be backing down without a fight.

What Happened to Kevin

Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
This is a true story of child abuse and neglect. It's not a novel. It's an actual diary, kept day-by-day, documenting what neighbors witnessed, and a mother who was out of control. What would you do if you heard child abuse in the apartment next door, night after night? What if the police and state agencies couldn't protect a three-year-old from his sick and twisted mother, and the father who claimed he slept through it all? This real-life diary tells the true story of Kevin. It's one of the worst true child abuse stories, told by Kevin's next-door neighbor. In this book, you'll read what happened, day by day, as the legal system failed this little boy. Don't expect a "happily ever after" novel. In this book, you'll read an actual diary as it was written during more than a year of child neglect and abuse. As the tragedy unfolded, it took its toll on everyone involved... including those who knew what was going on and couldn't stop it. It's a harsh plea for increased child abuse awareness. "What Happened to Kevin" contains the full text of two true child abuse stories -- "Momma, Don't Hit Me!" and "Momma, Stop! I'll Be Good!" -- published separately. This book tells what happened to a little boy named Kevin, between November 2011 and May 2013. (Previously published as "Kevin's Story.")

Aug 9--Fog
Author: Kathryn Scanlan
Publisher: MCD
ISBN: 9780374106874
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
A heartrending reassemblage of a life in its waning moments Fifteen years ago, Kathryn Scanlan found a stranger’s diary at an estate auction in a small town in Illinois. The owner of the diary was eighty-six years old when she began recording the details of her life in the small book, a gift from her daughter and son-in-law. The diary was falling apart—water-stained and illegible in places—but magnetic to Scanlan nonetheless. She became obsessed with the object. After reading and rereading the diary, studying and dissecting it, for the next fifteen years she played with the sentences that caught her attention, cutting, editing, arranging, and rearranging them into the composition that became Aug 9—Fog (she chose the title from a note that was tucked into the diary). “Sure grand out,” the diarist writes. “That puzzle a humdinger.” Followed by, “A letter from Lloyd saying John died the 16th.” A whole state of mourning reveals itself in “2 canned hams.” The result of Scanlan’s collaging is an utterly compelling, deeply moving meditation on life and death. In Aug 9—Fog, Scanlan’s spare, minimalist approach has a maximal emotional effect, haunting the reader long after the book ends. It is an unclassifiable work from a visionary young writer and artist—a singular portrait of a life that so easily could have been forgotten.
