Jack Ketchum's "The Girl Next Door"
- David has a new friend and neighbor. Her name is Meg. David is twelve, Meg is fourteen. Meg holds that mystery of life for David. She's older and has that spark that boys his age begin to feel for older girls.
- Aunt Ruth is a friend to the neighborhood kids. She treats them almost as equals, and not as kids like most adults do. She'll even let them slug back a beer from time to time.
- The Game. The neighborhood kids knew all about it. It was forbidden for parents or any adults to know or participate in The Game. But then, Aunt Ruth, was now one of the kids, wasn't she?
And thus begins the descent into real terror that Jack Ketchum takes you. A novel so intense that you will never forget it.
Never.
