"The Canterville Ghost"
Most grand old houses have a family ghost of some kind. Sometimes it is a quiet and kindly ghost, and sometimes it is a noisy one, always banging doors and crashing about in chains.
The ghost at Canterville Chase is one of the noisy kind, and the family can't get any sleep at night. So Lord Canterville sells the house to Mr Hiram B. Otis, who is an American and not all worried about ghosts. In fact, Mr and Mrs Otis and their children - Washington, pretty Virginia and the twins, two noisy little boys - are very happy to live in a house with a ghost.
But the ghost is not happy. His job is to frighten people, and the Otis family aren't frightened by any of his best tricks. Their hair doesn't turn white, they don't run away in terror, they don't faint - they don't even scream! And the Otis twins know more tricks than the poor ghost will ever know.

Esterville (Book 1)
Esterville, Illinois is one of the safest towns on the planet. Almost ninety-nine million people go there to buy clothes, read paperback novels, and drink coffee from warm cafes. But in spite of its quiet charm, many ghosts, vampires, and various monsters come here to roam across the murky floors of alleyways. As most Esterville citizens tend to look away from legends the only person who sees supernatural monsters, is a sixteen-year-old boy named Oliver Harper. Now, he is not an ordinary child: Oliver hangs out with his vampire best friend, Amelia Parker, reads gruesome novels, and spends most of his time studying cemeteries. With his single mother, Caitlin Harper, working in the Esterville Bookstore, Oliver uses his trusty sixth sense to help ghosts and supernatural monsters who have problems with the living. But as he sees a ghost of a construction worker, harassing his ex-girlfriend, it is going to take a lot of wits, bravery, and sarcasm to help him move on...

Now she has the ghost of said boy to deal with, along with an unidentified and uncaptured serial killer roaming the streets of her town at night. Her life was going pretty smoothly: going to college, acing tests, the whole works. Or, at least it was going smoothly, until she made the mistake of one sentence. "Hello, Mr. Ghost." AN: Hello, all of my wonderful readers! Just a quick little FYI about this book! It is in the process of being edited! Yay!! All chapters are finished if you still would like to read, though! Thanks so much!!Tamamlanmış Hikaye

Michael's Ghost Girl
This story is not getting the attention it deserves, so I am attempting to "re-brand" it. Maybe no one "gets" it. If you want to read about "Normal" teenagers, maybe this isn't for you, it's more complicated than that. It's about a teenager who doesn't fit it, but doesn't want to, who has the best two friends that anyone could have. Who watched his father lose his job in the Recession and then loses his home, and how he copes, especially when he learns that their new house is haunted and the ghost is in his room. Michael was an average kid, although he's always stood out. He was a school jock but also a skater whose long blond hair almost reaches his waist. When his parents lived in a house in a home owners association like all his other friends, life seemed normal. Then his father lost his job and suddenly those "friends" weren't there anymore--except for his two best friends, Short Round and Dewey. The three are skaters, good ones, who live for girls and their skateboards. They're also basically good kids who take pride in being different without paying attention to it. When Michael loses his home and his family has to move they have his back. And they are there for him when the ghost girl starts following him around. Mariah was murdered when she was just 15, her remains were never found, although no one but her and her ghost friend, Crazy Girl, know where their bodies are buried. The house Michael now lives in is the one where she lived with her family, and her old room is now his. She appears to him one night, trying to taunt him, but against her will she is falling in love with the boy who lives in her old room. Slowly the two begin to fall in love and Mariah tells him her story, and of the hidden danger that lies up the street from him. A dangerous strangers loves to kill little girls, and his sister KitTamamlanmış Hikaye
Deadly Silent | Book 2
[BOOK TWO] "Anniversaries to some are like counting the years spent doing something great, years spent together, or years spent alive." I started slowly, voice dropping to a drawl as I peeked cautiously out of my bedroom blinds, scanning the road to see if there was a cloaked figure watching my every movement. "I view anniversaries as counting down the days till death finds me." *** After the events of her wonderfully packed 21st birthday, Addison was ready to retire back into her home and never again see the light of day. It wasn't a totally bad idea. After all, her family's generations-old riches was enough to tide her over until the day her past finally catches on, and until that day finally arrives, she had no intention to step out of her front door. And to think the last time she did, she ended up in the game of cat and mouse with a cynical hooded spirit that wanted her dead and her soul in a glass bottle for his own little sadistic collection. Silence had followed the whole year after the disastrous party. For nearly 365 days, Addison had no trouble with unwanted evil celestial beings lurking around her house in an attempt to take her soul away with a world-stopping kiss. However, the silence was too often, and the world had become too quiet. Reason being? Apparently, Death's new move was to kidnap her best friend Minnie Hoover in an attempt to bait her down to hell itself. Life became much quieter without one-third of her little clique. And so Addison ventured away from the safety of her home, in search of her best friend. After all, silence creeps the heart just as death does, and the world was now deadly silent. ***** Highest Rank Fantasy: #9 Highest Rank Teen Fiction: #77Tamamlanmış Hikaye
