    Synopsis: The residents of a small town find that the secret to immortality is murder. 
    Welcome to Anderson. It's quiet here and that's how we like it. Except.... 
    Madge Duffy sliced her husband's throat last week. Thought she killed him, but then John walked out of the morgue none the worse for wear. The new preacher's calling it a "miracle," but I don't know. It isn't right. 
    I think there might be other people coming back, too. Like Deputy Haws, for one. He's got a bullet hole in his one good shirt and he won't talk about it. 
    You know Peg Culler down at the diner...the one with the little girl on life support? Well, she's talking about pulling the plug, and nobody ever thought she'd do that, not in a million years. She thinks it might be the only way to get her back. 
    Then there's that gang of kids that hangs around the reservoir...not one of them can look you in the eye without breaking into a cold sweat. They're keeping a secret, and it's got them all on edge. 
    Something's going on in this town of ours, something that makes your skin crawl and your teeth grind in the night. I don't know what it is, but I know this: 
    It scares me.

A young governess journeys to a lonely English manor house to care for two recently orphaned children. But she is not their first governess. Her predecessor, Miss Jessel, drowned herself when she became pregnant by the sadistic valet, Peter Quint, who was himself found dead soon after under mysterious circumstances. Now the new governess has begun to see the specters of Quint and Jessel haunting the children, and she must find a way to stop the fiends before it is too late. But one frightening question tortures the would-be heroine: Are the ghosts real, or are they the product of her own fevered imagination?

    Jane's nightmares are back—and this time, they've unleashed a brutal killer.  
    Jane Walker's nightmares aren't imaginary—they're glimpses into the traumatic past; and the past can be dangerous, especially now that Jane's protective birthmarks are gone.  
    Worse, she's no longer invisible within her dreams—and learns this the hard way while using her power to incriminate a ruthless killer. Inadvertently revealing her ghost form, she launches him on a relentless hunt to track her down. 
    Even more disturbing, Jane knows this man. She once tried to use her power to save him from injury, but instead set him on a path of violent crime. Now, he's targeted the man she loves, and Jane must keep one step ahead of this cold-blooded assassin before he gets rid of Ethan permanently. 
    Jane has one last chance to fix the mistake that altered this man's history, but that means taking her most dangerous dream journey yet—one from which she might never awaken. 
    Ghost Mark is the second installment of the Dark Dreams Series by JP McLean, an author whose writing the Ottawa Review of Books calls "relentless and original."
