I can't believe that this book has been sitting on my shelf for years before I decided to read it. I could not put this book down, it was so intense! When Simon comes into the picture, we know that there is something off about him, but I didn't realize just how off! Holy Moly, that guy has some serious issues. Though on the other side I do feel bad for him, he did not have it easy growing up.
There are so many twists and turns, you won't know which way is up. This book is really amazing and I recommend everyone to read it.

As a producer of the top-rated podcast, DescribeFEAR, I was initially introduced to Gloria Murphy’s novel through the 1996 film, Summer of Fear.
Starring Parker Lewis (I’m told he can’t loose), this made-for-television masterpiece, airing on CBS, shared similar vibes with the Reese Witherspoon/Marky Mark vehicle, FEAR, also released in 1996 (the best year of cinema), which is also my not so private obsession.
The source material for Summer of Fear, Murphy’s titillating thriller, Simon Says, although not quite as amazing as the image of Wahlberg’s David McCall tearing after Todd Caldecott as Gary in the woods, inhumanly flipping him over the brambles while swiftly snapping the lad’s neck in one smooth motion, is very much so still worth the read. It’s not FEAR, but then what is?
Simon says “so let me in your fucking house!”
Five stars.
