Amazon blurb: "When Holly's mother dies unexpectedly, she thinks things can't get much worse. But then her dad starts dating again. And his new girlfriend is Holly's aunt her mom's sister! Aunt Claudia is known in Hollywood as the Queen of B Movies. Horror films, zombie flicks, she's made them all. Holly never liked her aunt, but now she positively can't stand her. Especially once the ghost of her mother appears and tells Holly that Claudia was to blame for her death. Inspired by Hamlet, this funny novel about the danger of family secrets is a modern comic take on a classic Shakespearean tragedy."
Scheduled publication date: October 14, 2010
Doesn't it sound a bit like Hamlet meets spunky Nancy Drew? I love that this one is scheduled to release right before Halloween. I adore ghost stories around Halloween.
This one sounds like an intriguing departure from the usual ghost stories...
