Starve Acre

I managed to read this book during the course of the weekend because it was not a very long story, and I found it hard to put down because I wanted to find out what happened in the end. It is sort of like a modern day folk story where their are hints of the supernatural being at work, but the people in the book are just ordinary men and women. The main characters are a couple who have recently lost their son. Understandably, the mother is acting very weird and a friend suggests they call in a sort of medium to help her get through this bad patch. After these people have been to the house, things get even odder. The story mostly takes place in the here and now, but some chapters take the reader back in the couple`s past and to when their son was alive but behaving very strangely.
