This is my second Joe Hill book and another enjoyable read! This one had a really strong start, felt a bit slower in the middle, but had an interesting and satisfying conclusion.
The beginning captivated me with the spookiness of the box, the distance of the characters, and the ghost’s presence. However, I kinda wanted a little more spooky build up with the ghost instead of the pacing we got, but it was still a really good story and the plot devices all played out appropriately by the end. I love a great satisfying conclusion with tying up of the loose ends. Joe Hill delivered another great horror story!

The dogs do die. For those that need to know that going in!
