It was an easy read, but I do recommend it if you like a slasher flick and want a different way to experience that type of story. Michael had never said so before, but Reb looked a lot like a bird—the kind that used their hooked beaks to pick apart roadkill. I don't want to go too deep into discussing the plot line, because this book is constructed in a way that requires the reader to go in blindfolded. Michael smuggled the jewelry into Misty Dawn’s pockets when Momma wasn’t watching, and in exchange, Misty let him use her record player whenever he wanted. I couldn’t help but wonder if he was brain-damaged or something because he did absolutely nothing throughout the entire story!

If you're emotionally vulnerable, depressed or if you're a new parent, you might seriously want to skip it for now and move along to something less threatening. Someone yelled in the not-so-far distance, though Michael couldn’t make out the words over the girl’s constant wail.

He reached for her again, but she pulled the same move, leaving him stunned as she shrieked for help that both of them knew wouldn’t come. He circled the girl like a hungry wolf, poking at her with a long tree branch the way a mean-spirited kid would tease an insect.Also included is a new introduction by Ania Ahlborn, and both editions are signed by the author and artist. She spun around and looked down at the valley below her, empty of any pursuer, but also devoid of any roads or houses or clues of which way she should run. Michael reached down to catch her by the wrists, but she coiled up and shoved her feet hard against his chest. The time is late ‘79/early ‘80, but due to their rural life in Dahlia, West Virginia the record player still spins a variety of Beach Boys, Neil Diamond (yes!

from current fiction, thrillers, non-fiction, poetry(Emily Dickinson,Robert Frost, Donne etc), ghost stories, sci-fi/fantasy(Gaiman,Pratchett,Rowland) to classic literature and new voices in writing. When she isn’t writing, she enjoys exploring the darkest depths of the human (and sometimes inhuman) condition. He loved the fact that she wasn’t afraid to act silly or look dumb, or to tell him about her dead dad and her depressed mom, as though they’d been friends their entire lives.When he hefted the rock up over his head, she stopped fighting, as if suddenly coming to terms with her fate. Michael inhaled the lobby air, which smelled so heavily of buttered popcorn it made his mouth water as much as passing a McDonald’s did. Add this to your Halloween reading list, grab a blanket, and get sucked into the twisted world of the Morrow family.

Hailed by critics as “impossible to put down,” Ahlborn delivers all the guilt, guts, and gore of family drama as Michael fights to attain the life he longs for. This week has been all kinds of real life crazy for me and I guess it's fitting that I finished this craziness on Halloween night. Far away from any pain-in-the-arse neighbors within screaming distance, there sits an old farmhouse.

And, just when you think the worst is over, you'll be shocked and grossed out beyond your wildest dreams, and it still won't be over as there is the "Here's Johnny!

It's weird to me how a character, by no means a perfect person, can become so loved, instilling such heavy feelings of empathy in a reader.
