Narrated by Eric G. Dove
Unabridged
August pick for the Horror Summer Camp Book Club.
This was fantastic. It took the child possession trope and created more of a psychological and eery narration.
I thought the characters were excellent to read about and I loved how we flipped back and fourth to Jack's early life.
I kind of wished we got even more information about the dark entity, and I wasn't sure how it was going to end but it shocked me!
Really enjoyed this one and I think it was a great final pick to close out the summer camp of horror reads
