Seeing Things
A girl sees ghosts who will not speak, so she visits her uncle to find answers.
Abby Gillman faces a reality where blood appears unexpectedly and spirits are visible but mute. After spotting a ghost in a school locker, she realizes no one believes her accounts of the supernatural. The dead refuse to answer her questions about their presence or her ability to see them. This silence drives Abby to seek help elsewhere. She leaves for her yearly summer stay at her uncle's residence. The visit offers potential answers that the spirits withhold. The narrative follows her internal struggle and external search for truth without relying on ghostly guidance. Taylor constructs a tale of isolation and discovery, focusing on the protagonist's reliance on family ties when supernatural channels fail.
This work sits within the contemporary young adult horror genre. It draws on traditions of sudden supernatural awareness and ghostly encounters in modern settings. The story reflects themes of adolescent isolation and the search for identity through familial connections.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Taylor crafts a tense atmosphere where silence becomes the primary antagonist. The narrative excels in portraying Abby’s isolation as she navigates a world that dismisses her reality. By focusing on the protagonist's reliance on family connections when supernatural channels fail, the book offers a unique twist on the standard ghost story. It suits readers who prefer psychological depth and mystery over action-heavy horror. The limitation of scope may disappoint those seeking extensive lore, but it serves the tight, personal narrative well. This is a solid choice for fans of atmospheric, character-centric horror.
