Little Girls
From Bram Stoker Award nominee Ronald Malfi comes a chilling novel of childhood revisited, memories resurrected, and fears reborn . . . After years away, Laurie returns to the home where she was raised by a cold, distant father who recently exorcised his demons. But no amount of cleaning can wipe away the troubled past. She feels it lurking in the broken moldings, sees it staring from an empty picture frame, hears it laughing in the moldy greenhouse deep in the woods . . . At first, Laurie thinks she's imagining things. But when she meets her daughter's new playmate, she notices her uncanny resemblance to another little girl who used to live next door. Who died next door. With each passing day, Laurie's uneasiness grows stronger, her thoughts more disturbing. Like her father, is she slowly losing her mind? Or is something truly unspeakable happening? "Much more than a haunted house story." --Cemetery Dance Magazine "Takes well-known tropes and completely turns them around." --IHeartReading "Slowly but surely creeps under your skin." --The Horror Bookshelf "The perfect ghost story." --HorrorBuzz

This was a pretty good thriller. It was a slow build, with a lot happening in the book's last third. I hate Ted as a character. He seems fake and too buddy-buddy with his daughter. I also realized how much II wouldn't say I like the name Susan for a kid. Laurie dealt with some real trauma in her life, and the story just started getting good at the end. I want more of an ending and to learn more about what her father did in his earlier years.
