One of my favorite books as a teen! I recently found and purchased a copy of this for my own teenager, and couldn't put it down myself as an adult. This was probably more nostalgic for me, rather than actual good reading material...so this is likely not impartial on my part.

It's too bad they are not reprinting more of the supernatural-style books of the 80's, as this series might find a new generation of readers.

The 1980's- a good time for horror. The 'Dark Forces' series, from the 80's, is solid, traditional series of horror and macabre novels and stories worth seeking out.
