This was a really fun book! The characters were very vivid and right out of a horror film. Reading this gave me a good case of nostalgia for my fave types of 80's/90's horror films... you know the kind, the ones with the jock, the slut, the nerd, the bitch, all the stereotypes. The stereotypes weren't overdone though so all was great! The only weakness is the ending. If there is a part two in the future, the ending I suppose will be forgiven. I would definitely get the sequel. Regardless, I am going to search out more Kristopher Rufty... he writes horror that contains the stuff I like.

Here's a tip if you are on the fence... those same 'Lurkers' are featured in this little short taste that was put out by the same publisher (Samhain) for free. Check it out... http://store.samhainpublishing.com/The-Night-Everything-Changed-p-6931.html
