Ella Rosenfeld doesn't feel insane.
In fact, she feels quite normal. Exactly how she did before the accident.
Until the sun goes down. Then the hallucinations start...and the ghosts come. Sometimes they speak to her. Sometimes they merely stare. But they couldn't possibly be real, could they?
Checking herself into an asylum in the mountains of Eastern Europe, Ella hopes the doctor there can cure her. She doesn't want to be a burden to her family. She doesn't want to keep seeing ghosts, or whatever they are, every night. Desperate for relief, she'll try anything to banish the dead.
But there is no solace to be found. Only silence, knitting, and cruelty. Soon Ella realizes that while she could check herself into the asylum, she cannot check herself out. At the mercy of the doctor, her treatments grow more barbarous and agonizing by the day.
Ella must escape before the horrific experiments leave her dead. Or completely mad. But her only hope is the surly and stubborn Baron. Only he can stand between her and the twisted treatments her Doctor insists are necessary.
Will the Baron help Ella or betray her? And what terrible fate is waiting for Ella beneath the asylum?
Kristen Brand's The Ghost Machine is a haunting page-turner, powered every step of the way by Ella's determination and intelligence. Fans of plucky, resourceful heroines, ghastly ghosts, and abominable clockwork machines will adore this book.
