The Stoker Award nominee for Best First Novel puts a classic ghost story inside an old schoolhouse being renovated by a family desiring a new start, and it\u2019s narrated by a young woman named Georgie. Narrated <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">incredibly<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> well. Georgie is perceptive and intelligent, clearly at qualms with her mother, distant around others, protective of her little sister Stevie. And she\u2019s deeply honest with us, the readers, allowing us inside her thoughts. All this comes through in the tight prose:<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I think of different art pieces sometimes that will show what I\u2019ve seen, that will make someone understand and believe me, but these are idle thoughts. I would not know where to begin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Georgie, in this moment, is talking about the ghosts she sees. But the twist of the story is that Georgie has seen ghosts for so long that it\u2019s almost <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">normal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a weird way. And I love this. I love how Christi Nogle writes from Georgie\u2019s perspective and lets us see what it\u2019s like to be a young woman who can see otherworldly things and has come to some sort of (fragile) acceptance of this gift:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Echoes of ghost-children having recess at midnight would probably seem super creepy to some people\u2013and it probably should have felt that way to me\u2013but it seemed perfectly logical that they would be here. A weird building like this would make an impression on them in life that would linger in death. And these had been happy times for them, all told. I closed my eyes to listen, and the listening made me smile.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So Georgie sees ghosts. And she\u2019s kinda just rolling with it \u2026 until her family moves into an old schoolhouse to start over following a rough patch. Until Georgie realizes her younger sister can see them, too. Until this \u201cgift\u201d turns deadly. I won\u2019t spoil much more, but I will say this: one of the things I love about Nogle\u2019s writing is that I started to feel comfortable with the ghost sightings at first, too. Georgie\u2019s narration settled me into a sense of normalcy \u2026 and then things turned, and I realized that Georgie and her sister were in real danger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dark Pathway: Think \u201cCasper,\u201d but Worse<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I love how Christi Nogle normalizes the ghosts that Georgie sees. It\u2019s such a fun idea that I want you to try it. Set ghosts aside because Nogle\u2019s book is already pure fire. Instead, think about what other mythical monsters or creatures might exist in some sort of parallel realm. Develop a character that can see one of these creatures, but here\u2019s the rub: your character isn\u2019t actually afraid. In fact, your character has seen these creatures so often that it\u2019s just kinda \u2026 normal. What does your character\u2019s daily life look like? How does seeing this creature (or creatures) change the way your character lives their life, and how has your character adjusted?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019re that far, you can turn it into a story by answering a single question: What changes in your character\u2019s life that suddenly puts them in danger? It doesn\u2019t have to have anything to do with this invisible creature! It can be another external threat. It can be a car accident, or a school bully, or a tornado that roars through town (ooooh I like that last one!). Whatever the inciting incident, let it affect your character\u2019s unique \u201cgift\u201d \u2026 and turn it into danger!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ken Brosky is the author of\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Beyond-Ken-Brosky-ebook\/dp\/B09HYTNCL8\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=19DJPXZDGB8XA&amp;keywords=ken+brosky+the+beyond&amp;qid=1649040148&amp;sprefix=ken+brosky%2Caps%2C257&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Beyond-Ken-Brosky-ebook\/dp\/B09HYTNCL8\/ref%3Dsr_1_1?crid%3D19DJPXZDGB8XA%26keywords%3Dken%2Bbrosky%2Bthe%2Bbeyond%26qid%3D1649040148%26sprefix%3Dken%2Bbrosky%252Caps%252C257%26sr%3D8-1&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1649193860186000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3lEie6gD2dgj9-S5syt1mK\">The Beyond<\/a><\/strong><em><strong>, a horror novel available through Timber Ghost Press.
