The mortician's revenge : Maralee Lowder.
(Book)

Ada Carpenter went to her grave knowing that, although she had killed her husband, his malicious spirit still lingered in the old mortuary in Dunsmuir, California. As she left her earthly body behind, she went with the prayer on her lips that her dearest friend, Emily, would find a way to protect others from his wicked intentions. Horace had other ideas. The longer his spirit remained trapped in the mortuary, the angrier he became. His hatred began with his wife but it grew to include everyone who thought they could make his home their own. As the years passed, he found ways to vent his anger by attaching himself to others, using their bodies and their minds to do his bidding. The moment the leader of the Sisters of the Zodiac entered his home he knew he had finally found the perfect tool with which to fulfill his most monstrous dreams.
