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.
