One of the most glorious paths through a child's wonderland is down the aisle of a candy store, a dream world of confectionery delights that entice the youthful exuberance with a myriad of colourful wrappings and sugary possibilities. And such was the delightful atmosphere at the Sweet Things Candy Emporium where, on the sunny morning of April first, Becka Sampson opened the doors to not only her childhood dream but to the dark prospects of an unforeseeable nightmare.Suddenly plagued by a series of strange events, and the grisly death of a police officer, Becka discovers that her store is haunted by the ghosts of thirteen children who had died in a fire in 1943. Being an amateur ghost hunter, Becka and two friends decide to prove to the police that the nightly intruders are the mischievous spirits of lost children.About the Author: R. L.
