Hi, Susan! I'm glad you enjoyed the book so much. Thanks for the thoughtful review!

(LOL... my captcha word is "unplap", which I think I'm going to start using in conversation.)

My heart is beating, my mind is telling me "I have to read this book!" It sounds like one of those books I can read and then pass down for my 16 year old daughter to enjoy next! Thank you for offering this book to us in a give-a-way!

I am currently reading Elantris by Brandon Sanderson and the city description is haunting my dreams

I'd love to be entered for this (and enjoyed your post about your daughter's hair!) Ruth Rendell's A Judgement in Stone is deliciously creepy!

That looks really good! I actually thought Coraline was the strangest book I have ever read! I kept having dreams about button eyed people, and talking dogs! It really didn't scare me that bad, but it did creep me out. I would love to be entered in this!;)

The Patricia Cornwell book about Jack the Ripper. I can't remember the name, but the photographs and descriptions were terrifying. I couldn't read it when I was home alone.

Wow! This sounds delightfully creepy! Thanks for giving away a copy!

I'm sort of ashamed to admit this because I NEVER have nightmares. But I was reading Twilight right before falling asleep and I started having dreams that vampires were chasing me. I really can't believe that book gave me nightmares! I didn't think it was that scary when I was reading it.

This book sounds awesome!! Please let me win, please let me win, please let me win!!!! :)

The book that has haunted me in my dreams recently (though not in a ghost-type way) is "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". I have always been a vivid dreamer... and Bruno and Schmuel were so real in my dreams that I'd wake up distraught off and on for a couple weeks after I read the book and then saw the movie! I was almost feeling like they were real people I knew!!!

This sounds very creepy! I'd love a copy. I would have skipped it because of the title, but your review is fantastic.

I haven't gotten actual nightmares from a book since my younger days reading Stephen King by flashlight, but Gilda Joyce: The Ghost Sonata had some delicious creepiness, as did Grim Hill: The Forgotten Secret.

Thanks!

Oh Susan, I want this book sooooooooooooooooooooooo much. I put my name in once before and didn't win. I'm pretty hard to scare when it comes to books. I guess I just read a lot of scary stuff but I'll say the one that gave my nightmares was "The Treatment" by Mo Hayder. It stills gives me shivers to think of the plot.

The book definitely gave me shivers. But then my sister was acting like Kasey possessed on good days. I liked how there could have been a rational explanation for Kasey's behavior--with everything happening in her life she could have been suffering some sort of mental breakdown.

Oh but I did so love Alexis. I wish I had the guts to dye my hair pink in HS. Hell I wish I could now. I have the sarcasm down pat though XD

A book that freaked me out was TIME OF THE GHOST by Diana Wynne Jones. It was an awesome, awesome book but I had to leave the night light on for weeks! I read the book about 10 years ago and have always wanted to read it again but am too afraid ...

Holocaust books give me nightmares, and rightfully so. I like ghost stories, though they don't scare me much. Thanks for the review and giveaway.

I love the cover; great review!

That's a hard question because I can honestly say none have. Guess I haven't found the right book.

First, I just LOVE the book cover - very creepy! Anyway, I haven't read any good scary books in a while and this one sounds like a good one! Thanks for the giveaway!

I recently read The Shining and weird, creepy dreams for awhile. Also, there is something kind of sinister about Coraline and those button-eyed parents. Ick.

Well, The Traitor's Wife by Susan Higginbotham isn't a scary book, but one of the execution scenes really got to me!

I love the cover of this book. Please enter me!

I've been wanting to read this book since I first read a review on it.

Nightmare book for me would of been Joe Hill's book "Heartshaped Box". I don't know why but it was unsettling in a 'the past comes back to haunt you' sort of way.

Thanks for the opportunity!

I would love to read this book! I would say -second sister by john saul.It was a scary book! Thanks jacquecurl1@gmail.com

I just finished this fun, creepy book. And I had the same feeling you did about none of them ever having heard about the house's history in all that time. Still, I enjoyed it, too. :-)
