I'm working on a horror story told from the POV of a ten-year-old girl. I've got the outline down and I'm ready to write, but my problem is that I'm having trouble getting the tone just right. Whenever I write, the person telling the story doesn't sound like a child, and the violent and frightening themes in the story don't help.
I'm writing the story in third person POV. I want to avoid first person because during the story, the girl becomes possessed by an other-worldly entity, and I feel that first person would either make things too confusing or give too much away.
I would love if anyone could recommend any novels (not children's stories) where the POV belongs to a child. Brownie points if the novel is a horror story.
