The elevator ghost
By Glen Huser. 2014
When Carolina Giddle moves into the Blatchford Arms, no one knows what to make of her sequin-sprinkled sneakers and her…
trinket-crusted car. But the parents are happy there’s a new babysitter around, and Carolina seems to have an uncanny ability to calm the most rambunctious child with her ghostly stories. Armed with unusual snacks (bone-shaped peppermints, Rumpelstiltskin sandwiches) and candles to set the mood, she entertains the children with good old-fashioned storytelling and, at the end, a great Halloween party. It turns out that Carolina has a timeworn connection to the Blatchford Arms, and to the ghost who still haunts the building - especially its old-fashioned elevator.

But an economic downturn, mother-daughter drama, and Generation X disillusionment soon prove to be the least of Starla's troubles: a mysterious and salacious force begins to dog her; inexplicable sounds in the night and unimaginable sites spotted in the periphery. Soon enough, Starla must confront the unresolved traumas that haunt Crystal Beach. Where others might feel fear, Starla feels lust and queer desire.

By Susin Nielsen, Rachel Martinez. 2013
Un roman miroir savoureux qui fait se rencontrer deux éclopés de la vie autour d'un jeu pour plusieurs ringard quoiqu'il…
souligne ici la douance de l'un et la fragilité de l'autre. La drôlerie qui se dégage de cette amitié improbable ainsi que l'imperfection des personnages qui évoluent autour d'eux nourrissent d'un humour aigre-doux et touchant ce tableau familial et social singulier. Une belle découverte saupoudrée d'amour (celui d'une mère surprotectrice, d'un "grand-frère" en réhabilitation et d'une jolie rouquine), dont les chapitres sont précédés, de manière amusante, des anagrammes du héros (qui ne peut s'empêcher d'en faire!).

one day her life is saved by a mysterious girl named Blossom, who introduces Lynn to her own world and family — both more bizarre, yet somehow more sane, than Lynn’s own. Blossom’s family is a small band of outcasts and eccentrics who live secretly in an ingenious bunker beneath a city reservoir. The Underlanders forage and trade for the things they need, living off the things “Citizens” throw away. Lynn is enchanted and amazed. But when she inadvertently reveals their secret, she is forced to take measure of her own motives and lifestyle, as she figures out what it really means to be a family, and a friend.
