A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay
The lives of the Barretts, a suburban New England family, are torn apart when fourteen-year-old Marjorie begins to display signs of acute schizophrenia. To her parents' despair, the doctors are unable to halt Marjorie's descent into madness. As their stable home devolves into a house of horrors, they reluctantly turn to a local Catholic priest for help, and soon find themselves the unwitting stars of The Possession, a hit reality television show.Fifteen years later, a bestselling writer interviews Marjorie's younger sister, Merry. As she recalls the terrifying events that took place when she was just eight years old, long-buried secrets and painful memories begin to surface-and a mind-bending tale of psychological horror is unleashed.
"A Head Full of Ghosts scared the living hell out of me, and I'm pretty hard to scare" Stephan King. "Weather psychological or supernatural, this is a work of deviously subtle horror." Publishers Weekly (starred review) on A Head Full of Ghosts.
