This book. This book is going to stay with me. A haunted house in an honorable homage to Haunting of Hill House, this story delves deep into our greatest innate fears while leaving most of the ghosts in shadows. A true ghost story that leaves you wanting for nothing. The last 100 pages (of a relatively short book) are a race to find out if our admirable narrator will prevent the horrors of the future from happening! The ending will tear out your heart out! Goddamm!
