Contest at Dark Faerie Tales

I just found this contest at Dark Faerie Tales! The book looks awesome:-) Ever since I watched the movie The Others, with Nicole Kidman, I have been fascinated with post-mortem photography (weird huh). If you would like to read more on that topic the check out the post at Dark Faerie Tales. This contest ends on July 13th...so hurry over for a chance to win this book.

Another book I've been wanting to read is We Hear the Dead by Dianne Salerni.

From Goodreads:

It started out as a harmless prank. But soon enough, spiritualism was the fastest growing movement of the nineteenth century, and Maggie Fox was trapped in a life of deceit.

Meticulously researched by the author, We Hear the Dead reveals the secret of how the Fox sisters faked their rapping sounds and their motives for inventing the séance and founding spiritualism.

Maggie:
I began the deception when I was too young to know right from wrong. No one suspected us of any trick, because we were such young children. We were led on by my sister purposely and by my mother unintentionally. Only with the passing of time did I come to understand the consequences of my actions. As Doctor wrote to me: "Weary, weary is the life by cold deceit oppressed."

Kate:
My sister has used the word "deception." I object to her use of that word, for I do not believe that I have ever intentionally deceived anyone. Maggie has a different understanding of all the events that have happened since that night in Hydesville forty years ago. To her the spirits were always a game. For my sister Leah, they were a means to an end. For my mother, a miracle. And for me, they were my life's calling. I have no regrets.
