I can’t even remember the title of the book but I do remember what the cover was. It was of a boy with flies coming out of his mouth. The book is a childrens book, I believe, and each chapter was a different story. One story in particular was about this guy who moved into an old abandoned lighthouse in the middle of an island that has bad winds. The lighthouse is haunted by these musicians, one I know plays the violin specifically. He couldn’t see the ghosts but only the instruments as they held them. They tried to escape from the winds outside and he watched as the floating instruments be carried out to sea. That’s the one short story I mainly remember and another one is really vague, just basically about a creepy outhouse that was in their relatives backyard. I can’t remember what it was called, but it’s one of those old fashioned bathrooms that people used to keep in their backyard, kind of like an outhouse. That’s all I remember.
