Book Review of In a Dark Place

In a Dark Place
StephanieW avatar reviewed on + 34 more book reviews


After hearing the hype about this book and subsequent film, I requested it via an inter-library loan. I love tales of the supernatural; however, this book was way overrated and quite disappointing. The writing was terrible and the book was rather brief. Also, for being touted as a true haunting, this book did not scare me at all. It contained some extremely perverse events and troubled behavior among family members, but was not "creepy" in the way that I had expected. Overall, it was an extreme letdown. I recommend saving your money and borrowing it from the library.
