5 stars If you’re going into this novel expecting it to be like the recent Netflix series, you will most likely be disappointed. While the series is based on the house featured in the book, it is a very different story. However, I absolutely loved it. By today’s standards, this book isn’t scary. It is…

3 stars A few weeks ago, I went to an author talk/reading featuring Landis Blair with Caitlin Doughty. Of course, after hearing the reading, I had to check out the rest of the stories in the book.

This book looked perfect for a little light research so I got a copy from the library (of course). Overall, this book was well-written. It is very casual, which makes for…
