House of Windows by John Langan
5.0
I first encountered John Langan while reading his book [b:The Fisherman|29901930|The Fisherman|John Langan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1461603054l/29901930._SX50_.jpg|50275540]. I was so enthralled by it, I decided to continue reading some of his other works. House of Windows is a horror story unlike most, you aren't entirely sure what you're going to encounter as the story continues...but you also can't put this book down!
John Langan does a wonderful job of sucking you into a story, even topics or activities that might seem mundane in real life, are entirely engrossing as your eyes run across the page. The psychological journey this specific story brings makes you wonder about the world around us. Could something like this happen? HAS something like this happened??
The ending is wonderful, I will not specify more than just saying...it stays with you. I want to know more, I want to ask more questions; I Googled interviews from Langan afterward in hopes of answers to my questions. But alas, the mystery is key and important to this book because sometimes knowing the answers doesn't make things as scary does it ?
A horror thrill that will not jump scare or creep you out with gore...this is in a category of its own and something even scaredy cats (like me) can read at night! You'll love it!
