Here's the truth about me -- I remember every book that has never been returned to me. I guess it's probably because I only rave about the ones I love, so those are the ones I end up loaning to people, and then those are the ones I never see again. So of course I remember all the ones I never received back.

I remember who borrowed it.

I remember what year it was.

With all that said, I need to get another copy of this one because it is my favorite ghost story, creepy house story, all of that, hands down. There is nothing scarier to me that something horrific going on inside a house. In the walls. This one never fails to give me chills. Love it.

So usually I'm not a big fan of horror... but I read this book and quickly realized that all the other stories I've read are pale imitations of this one. Bravo.
