Something I Keep Upstairs
by J.D. Barker
For a haunted house to be born, somebody has to die.
Something I Keep Upstairs is about a group of friends spending the summer on Wood Island. Spivy, one of the group, has inherited a house with a unique history—something you gradually uncover as the story unfolds. The story is told from the perspective of Billy, a friend of Spivy, but also from the viewpoint of Whaley, a police officer.
I went into it somewhat blindly, not really knowing what to expect besides a haunted house story. There were many moments where I thought, what is going on? The book reads smoothly, the plot is well-structured, and there are some surprising twists. The only downside is that it feels more like a YA book than an adult novel, which I wasn’t expecting.
Overall, it's a fast-paced and intriguing read. It's spooky and mysterious.
Don’t forget to feed Emerson.
