The Ghost Notebooks

I just finished an advanced reading copy of The Ghost Notebooks, a novel by a fellow named Ben Dolnick. The book is not scheduled to come out until February, and so you better write the title down if you want to read it when it comes out.  The book starts out pretty good, and is the story of a young couple named Nick and Hannah who move to a small town in upstate New York where Hannah gets a job running a small historical museum.  Slowly she realizes the place is haunted, and the story goes on from there.  I liked the story up until the last few pages.  I thought the ending, which revealed the "horror" the book has been leading up to, was pretty lame.  It was not a believable ending at all, even for a ghost story, and was in fact a bit preachy.  On the bright side, there is still 4 months to go until it is published, so Ben still has time to come up with something better.  Let's hope he does.
