That's a great deal on a good book.
I do not know why THE BOOK OF ACCIDENTS is a mere dollar ninety nine for your electronic book device, but it is, so if you want a weird "you can't go home again" haunted house story (that also connects a little to THE CALAMITIES, as a treat), then go grabby grabby.
