I really liked this! It was suspensful, short and easy but still dealt with big issues in a haunted house.

Lickle baby books are #winning. I loved the concept of the house being the little boy, like hair connecting to thatch on the roof. Imagine a YA version of this, could even do a little LGBT moment
