From back cover: The terror is real only in her dreams.
Kit knows that evil waits for her in the dark halls of Blackwood School for Girls. But she doesn't know it has already entered her life. And who will believe her if her fears are real only when she sleeps.
This is supposed to be a young adult suspense novel, but my personal feelings are that the young adult reader would have to be very brave! DOWN A DARK HALL is a true tale of terror, for all that several of the main characters are teen-agers.
Granted, there is the obligatory dark and menacing castle (in this case a large mansion where fearsome events have taken place repeatedly over the years.) There are happenings in the night which mystify (and terrify.) There is the traditional unexplained malaise which befalls young women...
But Lois Duncan arranges all these stock elements into a marvelously woven tapestry that grips the reader and carries him off into the book's world. Excellent read!
