I enjoyed this short horror book. My problem with it is that there are NO CHAPTERS. it’s just 272 pages. No chapters. Yeah yeah there are those little lines that indicate a break but I didn’t go into this short book prepared for a 272 page chapter. Since I read chapter by chapter, it would have been nice to know that. 

I also didn’t care for the way it ended. I was prepared for that though because most horror stories don’t end the way I’d have preferred, but more explanation rather the vague one given would have been equally appreciated. 

Either way though I still liked it.
