Search - The Harrowing

I got caught up in this book and raced through it. Like many horror stories, the beginning and middle are better than the ending. Not that the ending is bad, it's just that the thrill of a good horror novel is in the wickedly delicious sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat, ready-to-jump anticipation. Endings, by their very nature, wrap things up. There aren't supposed to be loose ends, so there's nothing left to give me the shivers. So the author of The Harrowing isn't a threat to Shirley Jackson's place in the horror genre, but she's still worth reading.

This is SUCH a good book-I read it through in a hurry because I just couldn't put it down!! The characters and plot really keep you reading and you won't be disappointed.

Really good ghost story, recommended.

creepy, scary,--you won't want to touch a ouija board after this.

Well, this book was a little spooky and a little silly. It read very much like your typical horror movie, but that was what made it fun! A perfect read for a stormy night, home alone; I enjoyed it quite a bit, actually. It was a lot of fun, with a surprising amount of twists and turns for a short book. Interesting and chilling - Ouija boards always make for creepy stories!

An excellent book!
Five college students decide to spend Thanksgiving weekend at the dorm instead of going home to their disfunctional families. Bordom sets in and someone finds an Ouija Board... Let's play.
This story really sucks you in. It is very well written, realistic horror.
The five students consider themselves outcasts or discardeed for varous reason. And their mental states make them especially suseptable to the power of the Ouija Board.
The being they contact calls itself Zachary. With a little research they discover there had been a fire in 1920 in their dorm and five students died. A Zachary Prince being one of them. But is it really the ghost of a long dead student they are contacting?
A quick read. Good all the way to the end.
