The Graveyard

The Murder Room

by K.B. Eggert, C.M. Powell

Graveyards are a place for the dead, but when four teen girls decide to spend the night in one, all heck will break loose. If you asked Ellie Peterson she would say she's been a normal kid, so far. She's had the same three best friends since preschool, she has the quintessential bratty little brother, last year she had a crush on a boy and she's endured bullies just as every other middle school kid must. Ellie always thought her life was pretty boring until the morning of her thirteenth birthday. She woke up and felt weird. Like, not weird like the kids at school thought she was, but weird. Ellie tried to shake it off and go about her day as usual making her bed, finding both of her shoes and taking a shower. Unfortunately one bare foot on a wet bathroom floor changed her life forever. As soon as Ellie came to she could hear the dog's thoughts from the other side of the door. She tried to ignore the German Shepard, but the wayward spirits that kept coming into her room during the night was a different story. Ellie decided to keep her new acquired ability to herself. No one would ever believe her any especially not Erica, Sara and Sarina. And definitely not Aidan Roberts the cutest smartest boy at school. She would keep her fateful secret for months until the night in the Graveyard. Between the storm, the forces beyond her control and the thing from the woods she would not be allowed to.

It's an evocative description of stalking deer... with a sliver of mystery added. Quite enjoyable, but much more slight than his other work.
