At the turn of the twentieth century, Ellen Rimbauer became the young bride of Seattle industrialist John Rimbauer, and began keeping a remarkable diary. This diary became the secret place where Ellen could confess her fears of the new marriage, her confusion over her emerging sexuality, and the nightmare that her life would become. The diary not only follows the development of a girl into womanhood, it follows the construction of the Rimbauer mansioncalled Rose Redan enormous home that would be the site of so many horrific and inexplicable tragedies in the years ahead. The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red is a rare document, one that gives us an unusual view of daily life among the aristocracy in the early 1900s, a window into one womans hidden emotional torment, and a record of the mysterious events at Rose Red that scandalized Seattle society at the timeevents that can only be fully understood now that the diary has come to light. Edited by Joyce Reardon, Ph.D. as part of her research, the diary is being published as preparations are being made by Dr. Reardon to enter Rose Red and fully investigate its disturbing history.

4.0 The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red
I rediscovered this shelving books for work!I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this when I was younger. I know I repeatedly checked it out from the library. SO creepy and I'm not normally a fan of creepy books.

I love a good haunted house story and I liked the way the book was written like a personal diary. It did have me turning the pages anxiously to see what was going to happen next. But to be honest I found the ending a bit of a let down...everybody just disappeared.
