![]() But the 2004 movie isn't an adaptation of this book. I haven't seen any of the movies, can't say I plan to, but that's just because I don't tend to watch movies. It's the closest thing to fictional true crime. I finished it in a single listen and rode the train home without putting anything else on (unusual for me). Mystery Fiction Suspense Crime Thriller Mystery Thriller 284 pages, Kindle Edition First published FebruBook details & editions About the author A.J. Saying 'I loved it' feels wrong given how just amazingly awful the subject matter is, but it's true. The Girl Next Door is the fourth book in the Emma Griffin Mystery series, it can be read as a standalone. When I go down this path, I don't want even the hint of a happy ending. ![]() I also like my scary to be unrelenting, commanding, and remorseless. Oh, you bought a soul and now it's haunting you? Not a problem, those things don't happen. I like horror but I dislike supernatural reasons because it makes things instantly not scary. Thanks for taking the time to read this and partake in my attempt to quash the dark funk this book left me in! What's your darkest book? Am I just a wuss for being so squeamish of this one? Have any of you seen the movie? How does it hold up? Have any of you read this book? What did you think? I say satisfied and not happy because being happy at the end of something so dark just feels wrong to me.Įven better, the book was made into not one, but two movies which I plan on hunting down at some point in the near future. ![]() (I'd recommend against reading up on it to avoid spoiling yourself like I did.) But frankly the best part of the book was that the ending really made me feel satisfied. Scariest of all was the fact that it was based on real life events. Maybe the book was just hitting me extra hard but holy hell this book was a wild ride. I frequently had to put the book down and listen to some happy music to get out of the funk it was putting me in. A boy with a very adult decision to make. Only one troubled boy stands hesitantly between Meg and Susan and their cruel, torturous deaths. It is a madness that infects all three of her sons and finally the entire neighborhood. On a dead-end street, in the dark, damp basement of the Chandler house, Meg and Susan are left captive to the savage whims and rages of a distant aunt who is rapidly descending into madness. Unless you are teenage Meg or her crippled sister, Susan. Shady, tree-lined streets well-tended lawns and cozy homes. The publisher's summary reads as follows: I find that I enjoyed horror novels best when I'm in bad spirits. I was in a bad mood earlier this week so I scanned my horror library for a book I hadn't read yet. I almost don't want to be left alone with my thoughts. I just had to find someone to talk to about this book.
