Mr. Tremblay manages to script a slightly unconventional take on the modern horror story. However, a few drawbacks exist, keeping the novel from being a true classic as opposed to a clever tale. Typos and omissions (sometimes at key points) persist, and momentum does not feel particularly strong until at least the ninth chapter.

This was fantastic! It twists and turns and leaves you unsure of exactly what happened to the Barret family. It's reminiscent of great horror such as [i]The Excorcist[/i] and [i]We Have Always Lived In The Castle[/i]. ...more
