The Girl Next Door * Jack Ketchum
A few years back I’ve watched a horror movie called “The Girl Next Door”. I was terrified. I was upset. It made me hate the adults and the kids with ferocity. A year later, I thought I’d found the book based on which the movie was made, but it turned out to be a dud.…
A Head Full of Ghosts – Paul Tremblay Book Review
