Well that was not at all what I expected. This has horror/mystery elements that are incredibly dark, and   gasped out loud when things took a turn. Since the story is about children, I assumed it was ya or middle grade, but seeing that its for adults makes me feel better. The writing is great, and for such a short story this really packs a punch. I know this is a well established series, and while I'm intrigued to see what else happens, I'm going to take a little break.
