The Girl From The Well

The Girl From The Well by Rin Chupeco, 267 pages


This book was actually pretty creepy, especially for a young adult book. Future fans of Stephen King would probably love this book.  Based on the same legend that the movie, The Ring, was based on, a young Japanese woman who was drowned in a well has a restless spirit and her ghost has returned for revenge.  Having mellowed a little over the years, she is more discerning about who she targets, killing people who have murdered others, mostly murderers of children, often people who died by drowning, as she did.  She has attached herself to a young teen, Tarquin, who is inhabited by a malevolent but bound spirit.  There was plenty of blood and gore in this story but also a lot of psychological terror.  Teen horror fans should eat this up.
