We are all afraid, to some extent, of things that go bump in the night, regardless of race, religion, etc. Being from a small town, and having some personal experience with more "extreme" religions, I could totally relate to the eye rolling of certain characters at the mere mention of religions traditions - or superstitions" of the grandmother in this story, but at the same time, could relate as well to her firm belief that there's something more out there than meets the eye, and we'd better be respectful of that which we cannot see. The two sides of the coin. The frightening twist in which the two sides are brought together at the end of this book will definitely leave you wondering about that bump you heard outside your window last night.

Bentley Little proves himself a master at macabre once more by taking that and twisting it into something so frightening that I found myself sleeping with the night light on the night I finished this book!
