This book was pretty good but it was kind of poorly written. I know it was supposed to be written for a 1960s time period but some of the things mentioned felt unnecessary. The beginning of this book really dragged & everything mentioned was very much predictable. The surprises really didn't come until the very end. It made it hard to power through 70% of the book. It was also hard to follow because there were soooo many characters & they all didn't feel necessary to the story.

Started off slow, but once it hooked me I couldn’t let go. A truly creepy and scary small town story.
