Whoever is born here, is doomed to stay until death. Whoever comes to stay, never leaves.

Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a seventeenth-century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Blind and silenced, she walks the streets and enters homes at will. She stands next to children's beds for nights on end. So accustomed to her have the townsfolk become that they often forget she's there. Or what a threat she poses. Because if the stitches are ever cut open, the story goes, the whole town will die.

The curse must not be allowed to spread. The elders of Black Spring have used high-tech surveillance to quarantine the town. Frustrated with being kept in lockdown, the town's teenagers decide to break the strict regulations and go viral with the haunting. But, in so doing, they send the town spiraling into a dark nightmare.

I'm not far off the end of this one, and it's an amazing read so far. It's one that's stuck with me as I've read it and it's put me through a right gamut of emotions. It's infuriating for all the right reasons and there's such a sense of dread to it, that I can't really find the words to describe it. Unless the writer bombs the last part, I can see this being a book I'd highly recommend.

I finished reading this and now I exist in a haze of despair and hopelessness of which there is no light or reprieve, only the crushing weight of darkness upon my very being.

So all in all, it was a very good book xx.

It's not a good book if it doesn't leave you feeling destroyed and devoid of the will to live
