Claire (Ghosts in the Burbs Book 1) Kindle Edition

I interview my neighbors in our shockingly haunted town Wellesley, Massachusetts and I transcribe their stories for my blog Ghosts in the Burbs. Three women told me a horrific tale from their past and in doing so involved me in their horror. You may have heard part of this story before but I didn't tell you everything..... This is the complete story of Claire.

Great companion to the podcast.
5 Stars
Great companion to the podcast.
This book is an amazing companion to the podcast! I don’t know that someone who hasn’t listened to Ghosts in the Burbs would truly appreciate the complexity of this story, but podcast listeners will definitely enjoy. I couldn’t put it down.

I found this book (and the Ghosts in the Burbs podcast) after hearing a shining recommendation on Guide to the Unknown. I have to say, I am not disappointed. I finished the book in less than a week. As someone who struggles to find free time to read, this says everything. This is a captivating story, and I love the way Liz writes. Even with having listened to the podcast, I found the book to be thoroughly enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular! Brilliant! Intelligent! Scary As Hell!

I became a fan of Liz Sower's Podcast "Ghosts in the Burbs" and binge-listened to every single episode...TWICE! Then, because I couldn't get enough of her quirky, quipy, humorous, snarky, scary-as-hell tales, I read all her blog entries. Once I learned that she had written Claire's story in book format, I jumped at the opportunity to purchase not only the Kindle version but also the Audible edition, as well. I finished it in one sitting. Liz not only provides the sad grisly, witching tale of Claire and her haunting, but in so doing she also incorporates other spooky stories from and around her town of Wellesley, MA. From shadow people to witches to psychics and ougia boards to ghosts and voodoo hexes, this book has tales about all those and more. You will LOVE it. I certainly did. - Lisa Davidson

Liz Sower has a wonderful voice — as a writer and podcaster. I’ve been listening to her podcast since I happened upon it (then I started from the beginning, as she suggests). When I found out there was more to Claire’s take, I had to read it. Definitely worth the read. But now I want to know even more of Claire’s story!

Keep writing, Liz! And I won’t forget my nightlight. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars I will read anything Liz Sower writes!

I love her style of writing, It's like talking to your best friend. She is hilarious and I will read (or listen) to anything that Liz Sower writes. The Ghosts in the Burbs is, by far, my favorite podcast. My husband thinks I'm weird for watching shows like The Dead Files or Ghost Adventures on top of the ID Network, but I am happy to know that I am not alone in the world to believe that there is more than just us beings on this planet. There are rumors that these stories are just that, but wouldn't it be wonderful if they are true? As far as the book, I don't know if there was anything new that was not in the podcast, but I enjoyed it none the less. Highly recommend and am anxiously waiting for more!!!

I picked this up cuz I finished my previous book a little sooner than planned and needed something else to read while on vacation and this was a great choice! It’s just the right kind of spooky page-turner that makes for a great read on vacation. I can’t wait to grab the second book to see how the story unravels!

so this book was the book of the month for the TGOG book club and I am so glad that they chose it. It took me a few days to read because I read it in between me working and taking care of my family. I actually listened to the first installment of her podcast that chronicles this story the day before my book came in. It is so well written, it was like she was sitting down across from me telling me the story. It was so straight forwardly written but I was sad, and angry and chilled. And I desperately need more of this story.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Heartbreaking Paranormal Tale
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2020

This was a great story about a woman who runs a paranormal blog and encounters three evil women who do a horrible thing to a supposed friend and terrible things to people they don't like. Our heroine has a gift she's tried to ignore, but with the help of friends learns to accept. Poor Claire is trapped and looking for help. You must read to find out more. I was disappointed with the ending, I wanted to learn what happened to the terrible trio afterwards. I read this book using immersion reading while listening to the audiobook, which was read by the author.

Creepy...oh man. I was reading and getting creeped out and before I knew it I turned the page and it was done. I wish there were more to the story. Sometimes I was confused but not often. Like, when she was talking to the priest, I didn’t know who she was talking to, like I had missed where she introduced him to us. I also forgot who biddy was when she later came back into the story.
