A great book about a family's hopeful move to a thrice-spooky luxury apartment building to pass the time of a long and exhausting move back to your mom's. Some really interesting haunting themes and how quickly the building itself and its not so living inhabitants effect their small community of living victims.

Creeping to its finale, the Graveyard Apartment is a sad descent to doom.

This was a fun little B-movie type book about a family that moves into an apartment building with a few strange issues and winds up caught up in things they can't understand. Things start out slow, almost a character study, and gradually ramp up to a crescendo. Some of the scares were great but I was kind of disappointed in the end that a few major plot threads seemed to kind of fall by the wayside.
