A newborn, a husband who travels frequently, and an unfinished dissertation on children's literature does not mix as Megan soon finds out. She is struggling with the 24/7 needs of the baby so when she has a strange encounter with the hidden upstairs neighbor who happens to be children's author Margaret Wise Brown and no one else sees her - we think she is headed for the Psych ward. The ghost of Margaret is kind and grandmotherly enough but her lover, Michael Strange is all poltergeist. Soon Megan and her baby find themselves in danger as tubs overflow, fires set themselves and lightbulbs shatter under Michael's influence. This is a deep dark journey down the rabbit hole of post-partum depression and sleep deprivation as well as a look at two unfulfilled women separated by years yet joined in their feelings of inadequacy. A little bit of horror and a little bit psychological thriller, it flips you around so you are not sure if you are joining Megan in a dream or a nightmare. 4 stars
