The Harrowing – Alexandra Sokoloff
It was a dark and stormy night. Five college students remain behind at their dorm over Thanksgiving break. When the power goes off, they light some candles and pull out an old ouija board… mayhem ensues. This is Sokoloff’s first novel, and a good one. It gave me scary dreams one night. I don’t know if anyone else feels this way, but I often think that scary stories lose some of their edge once the “big bad” is identified. Like it’s the not knowing that’s the scary part. This book is not an exception, but where the scary started to subside the thrill started ramping, so it was a great read from start to end. Highly recommended!
