Definitely one of the SCARIEST books I've read in a long time. Atmospheric and creepy - takes place in a secluded boy's orphanage in the middle of nowhere. The writing and dialogue were superb. Definitely a cross between the Exorcist, Lord of the Flies and Children of the Corn. Fast-paced and nerve-wracking. Could not put this one down!!!
