Dead Connection

by Charlie Price

Summary: Murray has lots of friends, but none of them are alive. At school, he's a misfit and a loner, but in the local cemetary, he's the most popular guy around. Murray is able to see and talk to the spirits of the people buried there. He's happy with this set-up until the cemetary caretaker's daughter, Pearl, starts to notice his daily converations and sets out to sabotage him. When a cheerleader from their high school disappears, and Murray begins to hear a strange new voice in the cemetary, he and Pearl try to make a connection.

My thoughts: This is an original and unusual story. I wish the author had gone a little deeper into the stories of the dead, but all in all, a pretty engaging read.
