The Misery House by David Duane Kummer
dark
emotional
mysterious
medium-paced
4.0
One of my favorite parts of The Misery House is the story is told through various characters seamlessly, alternating chapters telling their side. I don't enjoy true horror, but this book hit just the right bone-chilling feeling.
In my mind, the house on the hill was akin to a haunted house and the setting fit the story perfectly. The characters are diverse, from a baseball playing kid to his older sister, whom has a friend in an interesting relationship. Then a new family moves to the same town, and the discussion turns to family and community bonds. A page turner, and I really enjoyed reading to find out what happens to New Haven.
