Justine recommends "The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor"

One dark and stormy night, Haley sees a stranger drowning in the river. Since her greatest passion is Gothic romance novels, she knows her moment has come. But when Haley leaps into the water to rescue the stranger, she awakens in Willowweep. It certainly looks like the setting of one of her favorite books: A stately manor. A sinister housekeeper. Three brooding brothers. There's even a ghost. Except Willowweep is not what it seems.

The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor is a lighthearted parody of Gothic romance novels such as Rebecca, Wuthering Heights, and Jane Eyre.  It's a great Fall read for those who don't want to be scared, but enjoy a spooky atmosphere every so often.
