Other sounds drifted his way, a low gurgle and a long eerie moan, like the whistle of the wind through the trees. "Except there's no wind today," he whispered. --From The Haunting of Dr. Bowen -------------------- * Cool! The Haunting of Dr. Bowen is included in a story on Lizzie books for Halloween in Lizzie's hometown newspaper, the Fall River Herald News!

* Based on real-life events and historic documents, though parts have been fictionalized to fit the story. Reviews* From Norway! The Lukten av trykksverte blog called the book "an entertaining read with some spooky elements."
New 5 star review! "The author did an awesome job of bringing reality into this work of fiction. Statements taken directly from the court records are peppered throughout. The actual transcript from the trial is included at the end of this book. The characters are well defined. This is an enjoyable and easy read." - Diane on Amazon
"... An enjoyable story to go along with Lizzie Borden (Zombie Hunter)... Though it explores a slightly different facet of the paranormal genre, it fits nicely into the world Verstraete had already built. Additionally, she added one last bittersweet surprise to the end of the book that reminded me of the story's predecessor..." - Kaitlin, Uncaged Book Reviews, (1/18, pg. 90), 4 stars)
"...This was a fun read! The author's injection of actual trial testimony at the start of every chapter was effective in interweaving fact and fiction, giving us glimpses of the doctor's history that are helpful in understanding his mindset & motivation...- Kevin S. on Goodreads, 4 stars
" This novelette only runs 120 pages, but manages to fill them with mystery, paranormal dread, red herrings to mislead the reader, and that sweet touch of long-lasting love. Verstraete keeps the plot—and our minds—turning, as always. After all the darkness, it ends with a wistful smile."- Terrance McArthur, Kings River Life
Rebbie Reviews: "... a novel by a fantastic author whose work I have never been disappointed with. C.A. Verstraete has an unstoppable imagination and she does one thing I admire the most. Research."
