Welcome to Litsy!

I've only ever read The Talisman by this author, which was co-authored with King. I think this book probably wasn't the best to start with.

The haunted house aspect was quite different and I liked the time spent there. However, the rest of the story felt disjointed making it difficult to follow at times.

I was confused while reading. Certain parts had impressive writing and others felt rushed. I will have to try another by this author.

Balked at 35 pages. It felt like a rambling teen fiction, was a bit unfocused and I had a high sense of this being very unexciting for me.

The house was owned by a serial killer Long ago. The boy spends more and more time in the house, telling his friend there is a girl there whom he has befriended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
