Book Description

Dee is feeding the chickens the morning that bones are discovered on the mountain. Something doesn’t feel right -- and her feeling is confirmed when local police show her a ring that they found with the bones, a ring belonging to Mary Ann Simpson, who disappeared four years earlier. Other girls, Dee learns, have disappeared too, unusual for a small town nestled in the shadow of the Bruce Peninsula’s rugged escarpment, the “mountain” that Dee loves.

Like her Gran, Dee has “the sight,” an ability not only to see spirits from the afterlife but also to experience their deaths -- a quality that becomes more horrifying as the story takes darker turns. While trying to help with the investigation, Dee is drawn into a deepening mystery that soon strikes terrifyingly close to home.

Critical Praise for Haunted

“Creepiness and dread build forcibly as this spooky tale of predation and murder builds toward its moments of revelation. Its post-war setting gives richness to Dee's intuitions of the dead in a world that is suffering many losses. Haworth-Attard folds into her ghost story the tale of a girl's coming of age in a period of social and political change: Dee's midwife Gran can look forward to her insightful granddaughter training to become not a nurse, but a doctor. A satisfying read.” --Toronto Star
