I read that book and it's one of the worse I ever read. Far from being scary. The story is dull. I understand it's the author's fist novel but the editor and publisher should have refused to have it published. It's a disgrace to horror stories. I gave it a bad review on 'LivingSocial' and most people there also found it terrible. I just can't believe that on the back cover of the book they wrote: "the scariest novel since Stephen King's The Shining"; pure marketing propaganda but how dare them comparing this type of story to The Shining. Glad to read your review as well! :) .-= Agnès´s last blog ..hilarious foreign language attempt | Italio-Germano "mussen alleine Spiel gewinnen, (I repeat) mussen alleine Spiel gewinnen!!" =-.

Oh I’ll have to look it up! Not often I see books written by anyone from NS! I think the only one I ever read was the one by Phonse Jessome about the McDonalds Murders in Sydney.

If I had been the editor there would have been some MAJOR changes in this book, for sure! :P

Well that book does sound horrible! You should find this one, similar name but a much better book! The Birth House. Amazing book based in Nova Scotia and by a NS author. .-= Kara´s last blog ..Me Update: Progress! =-.

You’re so right in every point, they could have made this a great book…
… if YOU had edited it… :-)

I hated it…. even more so because it could have been good.
