She's done it again! She just absolutely excels at creeping horror. I will say that this one was WAY less terrifying than The Hollow Places. But this one had better and funnier parts.

What do you do when you move back home and think your Mom is going crazy? What if no one else thinks she's crazy? It's so easy to find the simple, logical explanation for small strange things. Especially when you're living in your grandmother's old home, and she was kind of awful.

Another short novel that packs an absolute wallop and punches way over its weight class. Superb!
