I just know that from now on, I'll be doing my Ruby Jean Jensen reading in the daytime.

That's not to say that I don't want to read more. If you are a horror maven, who has seen it all, it is probably pretty mild stuff. I am a lightweight when it comes to being scared, however, and this scared the socks off of me. It's nice not to know what's coming from 50 pages away. Lots of twists and unexpected diversions this is also a change of pace. The characters are fairly well developed - especially Holly, and the plot was a new one on me, which was refreshing. I then kept the lights on for another two hours while I tried to find funny things to read in order to get myself to be able to sleep. Stupidly, I finished this book at 2:30 a.m., in a quiet house, with nobody around. What I'm not used to is having the bejeezus scared out of me. I'm used to feeling mildly creeped out in that fun way that you experience when watching old wolfman movies at night.
