Into the Candlelit Room Middle-Grade/Ya Fiction Horror Book Review

Five young people are touched by forces bigger than themselves, in these gripping tales-told in letters, journals, a college application essay, and through the veil of insanity. Each narrator presents only part of the facts-which makes following their tales tricky-and makes the final truths that much more chilling. None of these stories is what it seems at the start. But at the end, you will have read of a devil who tries to buy the soul of an impoverished teenager, a future college student who eliminates anyone who stands in the way of her ambitions, a girl who gets her first kiss from a ghost, a coed whose death is foretold by a fortune teller, and a girl whose new sister is so small only her mother can see her.
