PositiveThe New York Times Book ReviewIf you’ve braved one too many supposedly spooky novels only to find the pages haunted by nothing but stale genre devices like these, you might approach The Ghost Notebooks with a certain 'been there, read that' trepidation. But luckily, Ben Dolnick’s ambitions go beyond run-of-the-mill thrills and chills ... Dolnick...serves up a more nuanced account of the couple’s unraveling, leaving us to wonder if their problems are the work of malevolent spiritual forces or a complicated psychological meltdown ... Readers won’t come to these pages hoping for a love story. What they want is a well-crafted ghost story, and that’s exactly what they’ll get.
