This was my first real horror novel and I've read it so many times, that I thought it might be worth reviewing. What initially drew me to the book is that I'm from West Virginia and I was just plain curious. I do feel like the inbred West Virginia thing is played out, but it worked. Don't let other reviews scare you away, its not nearly as gory as other readers have stated. In my opinion, it's just enough and stops before it gets too squirm worthy. That being said, proofreading goes along way. There were quotations in the wrong places and there were instances where characters were being called by the wrong names. There were some humourous bits, or at least I found some parts rather funny. And it gets weird because guess where else I've lived? Georgia. All in all this was a good read and again, something I've read many times and one that I will continue to reread.
