INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Goebel, Jenny

Grave Images

(4) 4-6 Bernie wants to help out with the family business while her parents grieve the loss of their infant son. When townspeople begin to die mysteriously, Bernie suspects the sinister Mr. Stein may be involved, a man her father hired to engrave headstones. The supernatural story is a touch creepy, but this is more about coping with loss. Lethargic plotting mars an otherwise successful debut.
