HAUNTED HEADS
a novella by Gary Canup
A psychological ghost story set in an isolated farmhouse, where three young unwed couples, all brilliant liberal-minded graduate students, meet on a summer weekend.  Three years ago the owner of the house, the grandfather of one of the young men, died in the attic bedroom.  The puritanical old man would not have approved of the hedonistic activities and the atheistic discussions that take place under his roof, and neither does his "ghost," which is stirred to a homicidal rage.  But is the ghost real, or do the old man's puritanical values merely live on in his grandson's tormented mind?  Read the first four chapters free:  1 2  3  4   
By day, an ordinary farmhouse
By night -- what is that thing in the upstairs window?
