Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.
When I shelved this on Goodreads, a couple of years ago, I rated it 3 stars based on a 30-year-old memory of it being vaguely disappointing. I have just now re-read it for the Set on Halloween square for 2016 Halloween Bingo.
As one of Uncle Steve’s Constant Readers, I feel this just doesn’t measure up:
1. It’s written in present tense
2. The illustrations are not appealing
3. The characters are not interesting
4. The horror is perfunctory
5. It’s written in present tense
