A book I recently read mentioned this small novel and said it was very scary. I have not yet finished it. It is eerie,but I have not found it to be very scary. Still, iti is interesting and tightly written. I might recommend it. Not sure yet. I would like to see how someone else felt about it. Most books do not scare me.
