A short tale where twin teen girls act like obnoxious little brats and treat their grandfather like garbage with "visiting" with him at the nursing home. When they find a Ouija board on a game shelf and decide to use it to pass the time, they get a little more than they'd bargained for. I unfortunately found the characters both flat and typical, and the writing mediocre.
Now, if grandpa had killed the little twits with the Ouija board at the end, THAT would have been a story.

First a word of warning! Don’t, and I mean don’t, read this book at midnight and then plan on sleeping. Mr Lupo scared the life out of me with this short story and, yes, I did read it at midnight. Actually, I should be going to bed now but honestly I would rather sit here in my kitchen with all the lights on writing this review than go upstairs where it is dark and scary. Ok, so an owl hooting outside just made me jump, not to mention the bats that are flying around out there. Time to draw the c...more
This short story was just that. Short. If anything it was too short for my liking.
If this could be reworked into a longer piece I think it could be something special.
It was well written, and entertaining, which I guess is the name of the game.
I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I would have like to have seen the other characters fleshed out a little more. The nurse, the grandfather. How Jake was caught etc.
This story was certainly enjoyable, but I feel could have been made even bette...more

This was a freebie from Amazon.com, and a very quick read.
It was a decent story, aimed completely at young adults. But the main characters attitudes and swearing got on my nerves. There was no need for it.
The editing for Kindle was also a little off. Paragraph breaks and whatnot to signify that it was the next day/next week were not very clear, and both characters dialogue ran into each other a few times.
It was a nice (although a little predictable) story, which could be found in one of those...more

The premise of this short story is fun. I enjoyed the use of a Ouija board and found the plot creepy - a murderous ghost haunting a nursing home and speaking to the main characters through the game. Nice.
Unfortunately I found the characters a bit flat. I didn't connect with them or like them. I also have a very hard time with the dialog used for Catherine and Rita. It was forced and actually comical at times - times that weren't meant to be funny. I feel the author was trying too hard to make th...more

One seriously spooky read! "Ouija Be My Friend" is a quick, spine-tingling read that's rich with the flavor of the Georgia Lowcountry. Twins bored with spending time with their paralyzed grandfather each week at the nursing home entertain themselves with a ouija board. The secrets they discover on the other side spill into their lives in a deadly way.
This is a very simple book. It would be good for YYA's as a horror story. I found it interesting but the plot needs to be developed a bit more. I would love to read a longer version of this book. Maybe get some Character developement going. I will look for other books by T P Lupo.
Short story, quick read, interesting, spooky. Enjoyed it.
Great book just wish it was longer!
good short horror story!
Good fun short story!
Spooky, great October read!
this was free on amazon for my kindle. i read it in an hour, the twin girls were bitchy and unlikable, the story was meh. tweens looking for a quick scary story might like it but it really wasn't great.
