Helpful Score: 2

A Head Full of Ghosts is morbidly fascinating, like gawking at a car accident as you slowly drive by; horrifying yet with a sense of sadness over the tragedy before you. I kept wondering if this was a story of supernatural possession or mental illness, and I was distracted by certain events that I almost missed from which direction the ultimate damage came. The story was most powerful when told from eight-year-old Merry POV while it dragged when listening to present day Merry's blog alter ego. Not exactly the scare-fest I was anticipating but a gripping read nonetheless. 3.5 stars.
