With this one being one of Saul's first 5 books, and probably in my top 3 by him, this is just an incredibly creepy and scary story of a girl and a ghost. Check out my video book review from my YouTube Channel; AreYouIntoHorror here:

I absolutely LOVED this book! I have been reading horror for over 48 years, and this was a good and gory, disturbing and great book for the time it was written. Check out my review of this book here on my YouTube channel; RUN2HRR? That is Are You Into Horror? Click on this link:

As I am re-reading all of his books in publication order, one after the other, I must say, this is NOT the way to read his books as though there are so many tropes that he uses quite often BUT that does not mean stay away from his books! This book is a strong 4 if not a 5 star read for me, so saying this let's get into my thoughts and review of one of what I call; Saul's horror classics, 'One Not to be Missed!'
16 year old Cassie Winslow has grown up with her alcoholic, and messed up mother in West Hollywood, after her mother takes her away from her father as an almost 2 year old child. Cassie moves to False Harbor Massachusetts after her mother is killed in an accident....(see, one of the usual scenes in all of his books, but they work!) and not really knowing her father, she is not excited about meeting her 8 year old half sister Jennifer or her Step mother; Rosemary. When she gets to False Harbor she meets Eric Cavanaugh the next door neighbor boy who seems the same age. As things start to unfold in this book you are so drawn into the strange people and possessed animals in this fishing town that you can not put this book down. That is one of the reasons that I have always loved Sauls way or writing, he does not waste hundreds of pages building a characters background then take you on a down spiraling story that just ends up being stupid, Saul takes that dare and scares the hell out of you with always making you care for or HATE the protagonists, which are usually always a child or teenager.
There is a very important character, Miranda Sikes in this book that you cannot help but feel sorry for, she makes you think of the 'scary bag lady' that is so often in horror fiction, that you are devastated when you find out what her role in this story is it just made me sad. And of course do not go into this expecting a happy ending. So, i am getting ready to make a video review on this 'vintage horror favorite' of mine for my YouTube Channel; AreYouIntoHorror so i will be posting a link soon here. This is a definite recommended read for me to anyone who likes their horror and suspense fast moving, tense, and disturbingly bloody and graphic.

Helpful Score: 1
This is the firest of 3 books in the Wendy Ward saga of fighting witches and monsters.....and not the type of witches you are used to, these are very dark and scary ones. They were supposed to make a movie version but it still has not happened. Great books.....too bad the author never shined like he did with these 3.

Picks up right where Wither ended. Great characters and suspense and gore galore. Very well written, the third one really packs a wallop to end the series, but he could have made it go on.
