When a young girl moves to the sleepy, forgotten town of Bizenghast, she uncovers a terrifying collection of lost souls that leads her to the brink of insanity…

Only Dinah can see the ghosts that inhabit her home, where she lives with her aunt after her parents’ tragic death. Dinah relies on Vincent, her sole friend, to rescue her from the clutches of the hauntings—and from the doctor who is determined to see her admitted to a mental hospital.
