loved this story, super creepy. great ending. ( )

I’d never heard of this book or author, but I saw it mentioned in a discussion in a Borders Facebook group, and I was intrigued. Based on the discussion, I expected it to be scarier, but it was still enjoyably creepy. I liked the first-person narration and the old-fashioned, atmospheric writing. Every time I see a lawn globe, I’ll think of this book and give it a wide berth. ( )

A pretty good ghost story, but outdated, patriarcal, and (the one time the book mentions a person of color) kinda racist. ( )

This book terrified and delighted me as a child. It was a book I remembered as an adult, but did not recall the title. It took a while, but finally Professor Google helped me narrow it down and purchase it. It scared me just as much reading it as an adult. ( )

I loved this book when I was a kid; nice to see that it is available again in print so that my daughter can read it, too. ( )
