Hide and Seek by Jack Ketchum
2.0

This book was written informally, as if having a conversation with the narrator. I'm usually ok with that, but something about the writing made it seem amateurish instead of an effective way to tell the story. There was a lot unnecessary background about the four college kids who eventually play hide and seek in an abandoned house. I think it could have worked better as a short story.
