(Welcome to the wonderful world of Gayleen Aiken, a unique...)
Welcome to the wonderful world of Gayleen Aiken, a unique artist whose paintings depict scenes, both real and imagined, from her life. In this charming storybook, she recreates the realm of her childhood and peoples it with an extended imaginary family, the fun-loving Raimbilli cousins. Not formally schooled in art, Aiken relies on a variety of inspirations for her work: comic books, music, her hometown of Barre, Vermont, and, most of all, her delightfully singular imagination. Her paintings teem with vivid color and fantastic imagery, and the notes she writes in the corner of each one are the work of a natural storyteller. The book's text draws from those notes and from letters the artist sent to writer Rachel Klein.

(Lucy and Ernessa have become inseparable. Ernessa’s taken...)
Lucy and Ernessa have become inseparable. Ernessa’s taken her over. She’s consuming her. What I saw wasn’t real. And I know it wasn’t a dream. Ernessa is a vampire. At an exclusive girls’ boarding school, a sixteen-year-old girl records her most intimate thoughts in a diary. The object of her growing obsession is her roommate, Lucy Blake, and Lucy’s friendship with their new and disturbing classmate. Ernessa is an enigmatic, moody presence with pale skin and hypnotic eyes. Around her swirl dark rumors, suspicions, and secrets as well as a series of ominous disasters. As fear spreads through the school and Lucy isn’t Lucy anymore, fantasy and reality mingle until what is true and what is dreamed bleed together into a waking nightmare that evokes with gothic menace the anxieties, lusts, and fears of adolescence. And at the center of the diary is the question that haunts all who read it: Is Ernessa really a vampire? Or has the narrator trapped herself in the fevered world of her own imagining?

Rachel Klein received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from the University of Michigan in 1974 and a Master of Arts degree in English literature in 1976.
Rachel Klein wrote her first book in 1995 with her husband. It is named American Museum of Natural History: 125 Years of Expedition and Discovery. The publication of the book has coincided with 125 years of the American Museum of Natural History. It is full of natural and cultural history lessons, as well as a historical narrative of the museum itself. Her next book was 1997 Moonlight and Music: The Enchanted World of Gayleen Aiken, illustrated by Gayleen Aiken.
Klein published her first novel, The Moth Diaries, in 2002. Set in 1960s America, it is the diary of an unnamed 16-year-old, who has been sent to a girls' boarding school after her father's suicide. The book was adapted into a movie released in 2011, one of the major changes was naming the narrator Rebecca despite her being unnamed in the novel.

2002Rachel Klein has been influenced by such writers as Marcel Proust, Franz Kafka, Hermann Broch, Maxim Gorky, Thomas Bernhardt, Shmuel Yosef Agnon, and Shusaku Endo, among others. They have all served as models of uncompromised prose writers and thinkers for her.
For Rachel Klein, collaboration with other artists is essential. Moonlight and Music was a joint effort, with the self-taught artist Gayleen Aiken, to present to children and adults a visual and written record of her unique life and creative power.
Quotations:
"My work is not limited to a category. Fiction, nonfiction, children’s literature, dramatic writing are all forms in which I have found meaningful stories. In my writing for children, both stages plays and fiction, my mission is to provide an inner challenge. There is a battle going on for children’s imaginations - a battle between marketers and therapists. I want to offer alternatives to the mass-produced packaging that both sides offer."
"In my adult fiction, I have tried, in a simple style, to rediscover depths of thought and feelings that others ignore."
"You don't know where you are or where your dreams end and the world begins."
Rachel Klein married Lyle C. Rexer on May 11, 1979. The marriage produced three children, Raisa, Norah, Jonah.
Lawrence Robert Klein (September 14, 1920 – October 20, 2013) was an American economist. For his work in creating computer models to forecast economic trends in the field of econometrics in the Department of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania, he was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1980 specifically "for the creation of econometric models and their application to the analysis of economic fluctuations and economic policies." Klein’s research produced a series of increasingly detailed and sophisticated models of economic activity.
