Truly horrifying but VERY enjoyable. Also loved how I totally got the reference to Winchester House this time, all thanks to the Ghoul Boys aka Ryan and Shane.

Since I'm reading this after watching all the episodes they made of this manga, I already know all (or most; not sure if they actually did the whole series) the cases. However, this one still creeps me the fuck out.
Haunted house? Check.
House that is also built into a maze with secret rooms, corridors, etc? Check.
Terrifying visions that legit gave me nightmares the first time I watched the whole case? Check.
Actual footage of me reading this? Check.
This book, on the other hand, has more than just the capability of terrifying me. There's character building for Lin, who is largely left alone until this point. While it didn't give him much depth, a peek into his mind and himself was interesting. Also, it gave some clue as to why he and Naru get along so well. Still waiting on more characterization for Naru.
As it stands, still love Monk the best. Naru is a close second with Lin as a third. Not a fan of Mai still. Her personality reminds me of a friend I kept for far too long, so I can't handle much of her at a time. Easier reading it than listening to the English dub. I do enjoy knowing a bit of her background, which also came out in this book. Monk is just adorable as a reaction.
(Also, totally watch at least this episode if you get a chance. Ghost Hunt, Bloodstained Labyrinth. It's all on Youtube since Netflix took it off.)
