I'm so glad you reviewed this! I was mesmerized by this book on the supermarket racks in...6th grade? and also TOO CHICKEN to try to read it. I like horror as a genre but I am a gigantic wimp, so I only read it about once a year, in the sunlight, with my husband close by. XD (I also haunted the Stephen King section of the public library when the librarians didn't chase me out of the adult section! And only read two books before succumbing to cowardice again, haha.) I know the plot because I spoiled myself, but I've always regretted not picking it up before used copies became sky-high expensive. I hadn't realized there was a more recent printing - thank you!
