The bonus snippet in my copy is the beginning of The Fog, the novelization of the script for one of my favorites.

16. Ghost House – Clare McNally

A New York lawyer moves his family to “quiet” Belle Bay after his wife has an affair with a man who gets increasingly soaking wet and angry…only to find that they picked the house haunted by a super angry former British sympathizer. He gives gifts wrapped in blue and gold brocade, he hates children, and he keeps trying to replay the past with the ladies of the house, including self-proclaimed “romantic turkey” Melanie. I wish I knew what she meant by that.

And of course, nearly everyone in town knows there’s something up at that house. The only person who doesn’t is the young, smoking librarian Janice, who is also pretty new. I guess some of the cops also don’t know or are ignoring the supernatural for real burglar possibilities, like they do. But there are a lot of “burglaries gone wrong” in that house where no one steals anything and Gary, the lawyer, gets seriously hurt and then seriously hurt again and then seriously hurt again.

What’s funny about this book is that I knew there was a sequel because it’s an older book and I saw it; but the sequel was such a lock that it’s addressed in the epilogue. Janice, will you explain what a “romantic turkey” is or is your ghost too disturbed?

Merricat is also unaware of what a “romantic turkey” is. I feel like we missed something about turkeys.
