finished reading the apparition phase, which held me captive for a few days and nights. the story revolves around a young man and his sister who i guess are very young old skool goths, showing an early interest in the occult and general spookyness. they play a trick upon a skoolmate and unleash as strange series of events that quickly propel the young man into investigations in an old house that may or may not host a ghost. is the ghost a manifestation of emotional energy, is it genuine? the story was great, set in the late 70's i related to a few iconic observations. it's well written, and takes a few twists but the conclusion is unusal and slightly disappointing. none the less there's a unsettling feeling as you turn that last page which is what a good ghost story should offer its reader.
