Mean Spirited

Matt is an alcoholic teacher trying to get his life together. When he learns about the sudden death of one of his former students. He goes to pay his respects and finds his student’s dog who now has no home of his own. Not wanting to leave it alone, he decides to take it in. And all Hell breaks loose.

This was a really creepy book. It’s not very often that a story can give me the chills, but this one did it. I don’t think I’ve ever come across a story where I actually wasn’t worried about the dog dying. I was more concerned with what would happen if it lived.

The book’s summary mentions that this is like a cross between Cujo and It Follows and that it is a very accurate way to think about this story. I devoured it in only a show more few days. If you’re looking for a twisted tale that’s gonna creep you all the way out, this will do the trick. show less

Loved this book from start to finish. It gave me goosebumps, made me cringe, and had me constantly wondering what was going to happen next! The fact that it takes place in WV and the about the author reveals he is a graduate from Marshall is just an added bonus for me!

Spoiler to follow!
