Wonderful fodder for the "Ghost Story Junkie". This is the first book I have read by this author, but I was very impressed with his style of telling the tale. He writes about the paranormal with a style that I have never encountered before. You will BE with Danny in that haunted mansion, becoming an "observer" of the events that occurred in the house. The reader can do nothing less than enjoy this ride. The journey is made even more intriguing after learning what Danny recalls as a ten-year-old boy. Of course, everything is magnified and becomes more exciting to his young and impressionable mind, but it doesn't mean that it didn't happen, exactly the way he recalls it. I found it was difficult, if not entirely impossible, to stop reading. There are so many twists in this 162 page story, and just when you think you know the answer...you can start thinking all over again. The ending is truly explosive and unexpected. It's tagged as YA but "ghost story junkies" everywhere, of any age will find it irresistible. ( )

TALK ABOUT SCARY! I don't often get scared, but how can I not feel for ten year old Danny as I kept pace with his horror. I felt sorry when his girlfriend, Rebecca had disappeared and once he saw the ghost slit a boy's throat who had taken her tooth. How could he protect her when he couldn't protect her tooth? This novel is PERFECT for Halloween and I must read book two! ( )
