✨faith✨trust✨pixiedust✨ Dead Account; Not Coming Back (faithm99) I read this book sometime between 2010 and 2013. It was written as a series of emails exchanged between a person and a ghost that is haunting the house. I don't remember much of the plot. I would probably guess, mostly because of my age when I read it, that it was probably either middle grade or YA but honestly I don't remember much that would necessarily pin it down to either of those. It was a really interesting book though and I'd like to find it again.

From School Library Journal: "Gr 4–6— When former best-selling children's author I.B. Grumply moves into a Victorian mansion in Ghastly, IL, to write the latest installment in his "Ghost Tamer" series, he is hindered by more than just his overwhelming case of writer's block. He is dismayed to find the mansion already occupied by an 11-year-old boy named Seymour Hope, his cat, and Olive C. Spence, a ghost living in the cupola who is unhappy because she never managed to publish her books in her lifetime. Similar to the Klises' other offerings, the story is successfully told through letters, newspaper clippings, drawings, and related devices. Although Grumply has written ghost tales, he himself is a nonbeliever, and Olive and Seymour attempt to convince him. They then collaborate on a book about their own experiences, including the possibility of the demolition of the mansion, a ghost who falls in love with the occupant of her house, and Seymour's parents and their lack of responsibility for his care. This first title in a new series will appeal to readers, especially reluctant ones, as it moves quickly and leaves its audience eager for book two, which is announced in this ghastly and fun tale.—Michele Shaw, Quail Run Elementary School, San Ramon, CA --Michele Shaw (Reviewed May 1, 2009) (School Library Journal, vol 55, issue 5, p112)"
