I thought this was a wonderfully creepy book. It's a compilation of short stories focused on a boy's life and the weird incidents that happened to him.
I love horror novels and have read them for as long as I can remember. I know that what scares one person may not scare another but for me, this book really got to me. It is a rare occurrence for me so when I find a gem like this one, I have to let everyone know. There was a couple times that I actually had to put the book down and walk away for a bit. I did read that these were short stories that were initially on the internet that got compiled into this book. Because of this, it is kind of choppy and flip flops through time but still totally worth it in the end.
