This was like an attempt at a quirky corny version of The Shining mixed with a dysfunctional family and Thanksgiving.
I'll be honest this was a fairly mediocre take on an old folklore/horror standard. I'm also a bit...disturbed by the treatment of the teen character. Now, I'm not saying 16yr olds don't have sex. That's not what shocked me. What irked me was that we're supposed to believe her lying and having sex with a much older man makes her irredeemable. She's sixteen; she can still grow out of being kind of a dick. I don't think it deserves eternal damnation . Now, perhaps the sex bit was actually done under the influence of evil , but I wouldn't so readily jump to that conclusion given she was sexualised in her introduction ("fetishistic" pigtails?)

I am was slightly confused by this book. Apparently her whole family was "evil" so she distanced herself from them and still went back for thanksgiving with her new "nice guy" boyfriend. Who then proceeded to cheat on her with her 16 yo niece. Um ok sure. She was then the only one who made it out alive since she wasn't "sinful" like the rest of them.
A family is slaughtered 10 years ago, and now a new family has moved into the Thorpe house. They are planning a Thanksgiving celebration when a stranger comes up to the door asking for shelter. What follows is a lot of death.
This is basically a ghost story about the Devil who is coming for you. Quick read but it is gory and hard to believe.

Liked that it took place in Rhode Island (would have been nice to have more of the location though). Some of it was creepy good and other parts just okay.
A Horrific short story!!
A horrific short story but very well done. Finished this is one sitting. I love James Patterson’s Bookshots because they are such a quick read.
