Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt

Very highly recommeded. For three hundred years a small town has been haunted. A ghost walks the street in plain sight, and anyone who takes up residence is bound to her curse and to the town - they may leave, but stay gone for too long and suicide is inevitable. What happens next - Mein Gott. What a twisted, downward spiral of terror and emotional anguish. A GREAT example of literary horror (think Peter Straub at his peak), with the only negative being a clunky first chapter. Wow.
