i remember my dad got me a copy of this book ages ago and i dont remember reading it but i remembered like the beginning and one scene that ended up being right near the end so clearly i read the entire book at some point and it was just completely wiped from my memory but it was pretty good i really liked the writing the beginning was really slow but once i was like 40% through it started picking up and it was a good halloween read it wasn’t creepy but it was very disturbing and gross
like chris and cathy .. ew and then i googled the sequels and read the plots of all of them and they actually end up getting married and having a life together it's crazy the plots of the rest of the books r INSANEEEE this plot was just like oh nooo we r locked in the attic and we're not getting sunlight or enough food 😟 i'm making it sound bad it wasn't it was just tame compared to the rest of the series apparently .. when it turned out that the mum was poisoning them and not the grandmother i gasped and when cory died i gasped too but i don't know why because he was the one with the least personality it was pretty obvious he was gna die
this book is sigmund frueds dream come true
