Joyland

Dev needs a summer job and one just happens to fall into his lap. Joyland. Am amusement park in a small town in NC. Once there he falls in love with the atmosphere and the mystery. It's more of an amusement park with a carnival vibe.

During one summer, way before Dev's time, there was a murder and the carny's say you can see Linda Gray's ghost when you ride the Horror House. This has Dev intrigued, so much so that he wants to see her ghost.

Michael is a kid with MD that Dev sees pretty much every morning on his way to Joyland. Soon he becomes friends with him and his mom Annie. Michael has the sight and has eerie messages for Dev but doesn't know what they mean.

And so begins the mystery solving adventure of Linda Gray's ghost and her murder. Who killed her and why is her ghost hanging around? What connection does Michael have to all of this? Will Dev be able to solve the mystery and set Linda free?

What a great story. I love mysteries and I love the supernatural. This is a great read to add to your Spooktober list. It's a little slow in the beginning but that's Stephen King and those who love his writing like I do will understand. The setting of the amusement park is great. There is always a little mystery surrounding those, at least to me, and it fits the haunting story of the Carny Killer.
