Mary Downing Hahn Bücher
Diese Autorin schafft Erzählungen, die sich mit den komplexen Emotionen und Gedanken von Charakteren befassen. Ursprünglich drückte sie sich visuell aus, entdeckte aber, dass Worte unerlässlich waren, um das Innenleben ihrer Charaktere darzustellen. Ihr Schreiben entwickelte sich von einfachen Geschichten zu komplexeren Erzählungen, die die menschliche Psyche erforschen. Die Autorin beschreibt das Schreiben als eine Entdeckungsreise, bei der der kreative Prozess genauso aufregend ist wie das Endergebnis.
Die Geschichte entfaltet sich um die Geschwister Molly und Michael, die sich mit ihrer problematischen Stiefschwester Heather anfreunden wollen. Heather sorgt für Unruhe und spielt oft auf einem Friedhof, wo sie behauptet, mit dem Geist eines Mädchens namens Helen zu kommunizieren, das vor über hundert Jahren starb. Während Michael skeptisch bleibt, beginnt Molly an Heathers Drohungen zu zweifeln, dass Helen sie holen könnte. Mary Downing Hahn, bekannt für ihre gruseligen Jugendgeschichten, schafft mit diesem Klassiker eine spannende und unheimliche Atmosphäre.
