Welcome to the Dark House by Laurie Faria Stolarz

Dark HouseWow.  Wow, wow, wow.  Such a good book.  I couldn’t put it down.  Fantastic writing.  If you’re into horror books, read this.

When I first read the description I thought this book would be like Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, but I liked this one better.  This book is something I think we all think about from time to time, what if some of our craziest nightmares came true?  Seven teens win an essay contest and get the opportunity to meet their favorite horror movie director, Justin Blake.  They are told they will be staying at a Bed and Breakfast, only to realize when they arrive that it is actually the set from one of Justin Blake’s most famous films.  The first half of the book is written so that you can believe nothing is going to happen, that everything is a set-up by the director.  When you get to the second half though, it turns to chaos.  They are sent to an abandoned amusement park and told they have to find their specific rides and get through them to get out of the park.

The characters in this story along with their very un-generic nightmares make this story great.  They really pull you in and make you care about what happens to them.  There will be a sequel coming out July 21st, 2015 and I cannot wait to read it. Don’t let this book be a nightmare, go read it and comment what you think!
