This ghost story, set during the Civil War, has a little something for everyone. My husband recommended it knowing that I often like to read historical fiction, and that I will be asking my students to read this genre right off this year. It appealed to my taste for historical fiction, but I know that those that like their books on the spooky side will like it as well. Also, there's a love story (but don't worry, it doesn't dominate the story!)
The title, Picture the Dead, refers to the practice of "spiritualist photography."
