The Haunting Between Us

Wow!  This book scared the pants off me!  I read it mostly at night and every time something creepy happened, I got intense goosebumps.  It was also a terrific first love gay teen novel.  I’m a sucker for romances, and this was great.  I was completely caught up in both the romance and the haunted house shenanigans.  It also tackled some important issues like racism, body image, bullying, and parental acceptance.  Growing up a gay kid in the 60’s and 70’s is way different than now, but the issues are still the same.  There’s just a lot more support now, if you know where to look and are lucky enough to have the right friends.  Winters’ first book, Together in a Broken World, was good.  “Haunting” is a stunning sophomore effort.  I’m so glad I met him at WorldCon in Seattle where he convinced me to buy his books.
