""The haunting hells [Sheff] has brought to this debut are chillingly realistic, evoking the classic Kingsian horror of both Carrie and The Shining."" -- Booklist ""Sheff writes solid suspense that recalls the classics: both Stephen King's The Shining and Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, among others. A solid and quite frightening tale of the supernatural."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""The interspersed narratives about the dreadful incidents that have happened in the house are gripping and disturbing... horror fans seeking a good scare may find some enjoyable dread here."" -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
