The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich - Restarting August 5th 2018

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Part-psychological thriller, part-urban legend, this is an unsettling narrative made up of diary entries, interview transcripts, film footage transcripts and medical notes. Twenty-five years ago, Elmbridge High burned down. Three people were killed and one pupil, Carly Johnson, disappeared. Now a diary has been found in the ruins of the school. The diary belongs to Kaitlyn Johnson, Carly’s identical twin sister. But Carly didn’t have a twin . . .

Re-opened police records, psychiatric reports, transcripts of video footage and fragments of diary reveal a web of deceit and intrigue, violence and murder, raising a whole lot more questions than it answers.

Who was Kaitlyn and why did she only appear at night? Did she really exist or was she a figment of a disturbed mind? What were the illicit rituals taking place at the school? And just what did happen at Elmbridge in the events leading up to ‘the Johnson Incident’?

Chilling, creepy and utterly compelling, THE DEAD HOUSE is one of those very special books that finds all the dark places in your imagination, and haunts you long after you've finished reading.

Starting a bit early!

[Rae]

Part 1 (view spoiler)[ This book is a bit scary. I always thinkanything with mental illness is scary though. I honestly feel bad for both of them Kaitlin and Carly. Its has to suck being stuck like that. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Rae]

Part 2 (view spoiler)[ So i don't like how they go back and forth between before the incident and after it. I don't think it was Scott who did it either. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Rae]

Part 3 (view spoiler)[ I actually really feel bad for Jamie. It seems as if kaitlain/carly really care about her. Maybe she is the turning point in all this. I feel like if they go through with this restraining order it will just be worse! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Rae]

Part 4 (view spoiler)[ WTF, that was crazy! I feel like Nadia is crazier than all of them! How the heck could this become a cult thing though. I just never understood the reasoning behind something like that. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Ch 7 (view spoiler)[So this is going to be interesting to learn if they are 1 person and crazy or somehow 2. I would have thought some other person (family, teacher, neighbor, friend, etc would know about them from their parents if true). (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Ch 22 (view spoiler)[Looks like we are starting to dance around with time. Before and after info now. looks like the doc may be in trouble. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Yeah that started to confuse me.

[Jamie]

Rae wrote: "Part 3 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I feel bad for her. It is obvious she remembers what happened. And cant she shed some light about Kaitlyn to everyone? That she was around before the deaths? Kid or not I wish I knew what she has said. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Done (view spoiler)[So that end leaves a lot of guess work. Hmm John being at the accident shocked me. Sad so many innocents died. Including Kaitlyn it seems. (hide spoiler)]
