At page 80, just as I was about to give up, whatever was down there turned the lights back on. Ah, the ominous basement, where would horror be without you?
We don't go to the basement, though. We go back to the past again, to another story about her and her awful sister and her parents.
The author keeps teasing just enough to keep some readers going, wanting to find out if something supernatural is actually going on. Not this reader, though. I've never been a fan of this is-there-or-isn't-there a ...more
