End of the line
To this day, people in Lisle, Illinois, claim to see the ghost of a station master who suffocated to death when thieves stuffed him into a trunk. Grace Marsden is hoping the local legend will help raise funds for the town's historic train depot. She's organized an auction for a set of locked trunks found in an antiques-store basement -- the contents will be revealed to the winning bidders onstage. But to the crowd's horror, one of the trunks contains the gruesome skeletal remains of a woman.

Things only get worse when the locksmith who opened the trunks is killed in a hit-and-run and Grace's husband is arrested. Certain of his innocence, Grace is determined to identify the body in the trunk -- the key to finding a motive. But it's clear that death stalks anyone who gets too close to the truth, and Grace is no exception. Can she follow a decades-old trail of sibling rivalry and cold-blooded murder before a killer gives her a one-way ticket to an early grave?

Carrie Mesrobian

How quickly everything in the world disintegrates. Everything but the loneliness of young women."

So begins The Whitsun Daughters, a story of three girls in a small Midwestern town, narrated by the ghost of a young Irish immigrant who, over a century earlier, lived and loved on the same small patch of farmland the girls and their mothers now call home.
 
Award-winning author Carrie Mesrobian weaves the story of the girls’ day-to-day struggles with the fractured and harrowing memories of their unseen observer. The threads of the tales are familiar: An arranged marriage. An impulsive proposal bitterly refused. Secret affairs. And pregnancies, both welcome and not. Each young woman fights her own lonely battle in the generations-long war of those who would no longer settle for haunting the margins of a world that wants to ignore them.

"The ghost of a 19th century Irish immigrant to Minnesota watches over three contemporary American teenagers who live on the plot of land she did as they try to terminate an unwanted pregnancy"--

"A gentle, glowing wonder, full of love and understanding." -The New York Times Book Review

Cover may vary.
 
It's the summer before middle school and eleven-year-old Bug's best friend Moira has decided the two of them need to use the next few months to prepare. For Moira, this means figuring out the right clothes to wear, learning how to put on makeup, and deciding which boys are cuter in their yearbook photos than in real life. But none of this is all that appealing to Bug, who doesn't particularly want to spend more time trying to understand how to be a girl. Besides, there's something more important to worry about: A ghost is haunting Bug's eerie old house in rural Vermont...and maybe haunting Bug in particular. As Bug begins to untangle the mystery of who this ghost is and what they're trying to say, an altogether different truth comes to light--Bug is transgender.

At the Old Inn, which clings precariously to a cliff top above a storm-lashed ocean, two sick children are left alone while their father fetches the doctor. Then a visitor comes begging for shelter, and so begins a long night of story-telling, in which young Ethan and Cathy, who have an unnatural appetite for stories of a macabre persuasion, sit out the last throes of the storm in the company of a sailor with more than enough grisly tales to satisfy them. But something about this sailor puts Ethan on edge, and he becomes increasingly agitated for his father's return. Only when the storm blows itself out can Ethan relax - but not for long, for the new dawn opens the children's eyes to a truth more shocking, more distressing than anything they heard the night before.

Oooh a delicious spooky story geared towards upper middle school and young young adults.  Focuses on puzzles and ghosts rather than gore and gristly.

Lila When thirteen-year-old Lila and her family visit Laurel Oaks Plantation in Louisiana, her parents and brother scoff at the claim that the house is haunted. Lila isn't so ready to dismiss the idea. Ever since her friend Roberto died, she's been hearing his voice in the middle of the night. But there are no such things as ghosts, are there? Maybe here, at Laurel Oaks, Lila will find out for sure.... Daphne Daphne was alive once, long ago. She was a house slave to Judge Nethercott at Laurel Oaks Plantation. She met her end in the wintry waters of the Mississippi when she was accused of poisoning her master's wife and two little girls. For two centuries, Daphne has been waiting--waiting for the one who can discover the truth and set her spirit free. Could Lila be the one?
