Have you ever read a story that left you feeling happy, sad, shocked, and angry?

I'm sure you all have at some point in your lives. Every horror story has a way of destroying our spirits.

Anya's Ghost, written by Vera Brosgol was definitely that kind of horror story for me. 

The comic is about a young girl named Anya, who is not looking forward to going to school. She has a major crush on a high schooler, who already has a girlfriend. Out of frustration with her love life and troubles at home, she does not notice the massive hole in front of her while walking to school. 

Anya falls through the hole, where she accidentally finds a dead body. A ghost appears from the body, telling Anya her name is Emily. They both become good friends, and Anya starts a brand-new chapter in her life with the help of her new friend. Unfortunately, Anya's new friend is more than meets the eye. 

You know how stories tend to use crazy twists to freak out the readers?

This story does have an excellent twist, a disturbing one at that. I did not expect the story to become that dark later on, and oh boy; I fell in love with the novel as the story progressed to the third act. 

Anya's Ghost should be read by all horror fans, and I guarantee that you love and hate the creepy ghost by the time you are done with the novel! 

Thank you for reading!
