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.
