I like John Saul, and this was one of his best. The story is about a young girl who moves into a haunted house, but it manages to be quite original and fresh. Two young teenagers who are mercilessly teased at school and mistreated by their parents form an alliance and make contact with spirits in the girl's house, with the help of a mysterious black cat that appears out of nowhere and leads them on as they pursue the town's secrets. The two find a devilish way to get even with their tormentors. The depictions of children's cruelty to each other is at times hard to endure, but you will find yourself rooting for the two children. I did not like the ending, but it really had to end the way it did.
