(I read these in middle school. I never actually had a deviantart, but Airshipgirl was one of my favorite creators at that time, and since she wrote books that happened to be free on Lulu back then... )
I found it in Elementary school, as far as I remember (I read a LOT of books about ghosts/supernatural/horror things when I was young... ahahah... ), and I don't remember if I cried or not while reading it, but it made me very emotional.
