I definitely found this book much scarier when I was in middle school, but it’s still a fast, fun, and entertaining read years later :)

Very interesting to read the “updated” version now after reading the original back in the 90s. Good YA gothic horror reminiscent of Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House.
