Abe Barrett is surrounded by ghosts - some of them are even his roommates! But now Abe's visions show something dark coming, and it wants Abe dead. ***** When Abe Barrett's family died, he started seeing ghosts. Soon he was living with three of them, and it turns out ghosts are just as eccentric as people. Abe is bothered by the ghosts constantly since he doesn't want to solve their murders, avenge them or do much of anything. He just wants to do his job and relax. His dreams, however, have been getting darker as people in town start to disappear. Soon Abe realizes there is something hunting him, and that same threat was involved with his family's deaths. A legacy of darkness is chasing Abe Barrett, and his supernatural roommates may not be enough to save him. [[word count: 60,000-70,000 words]]

People think living in a small town is peaceful. You get to talk to your neighbors, hear the small town gossip, maybe even find true love...well that's what happens in the books anyway. But I'll let you in on a little secret. Small towns are definitely not peaceful. Everyone knows everything about everybody. The things you want to be kept secret are exposed. The things you wished weren't true are. Nothing is private. Now the small town I'm living isn't filled with secret vampires or werewolves with a sexy six pack. The small town of Pinewood is filled with people. Normal, regular, everyday people. Or so they appear that way. Pinewood is filled with mentally insane people. I know who they are. Where they live. What caused them to become insane. This book is a book of truths. This book is filled with secrets no one else knows. This book is mine. This, is the book of the mentally insane. ******************** DISCLAIMER: There are things in this book that could be scary for younger children so I suggest you're 15+ if you're going to read this book. This book also talks about suicide and other forms of dying that could be sensitive topics for some people.
