The House Next Door by Anne Rivers Siddons

The House Next Door is a wonderfully scary book for October.  Originally published in 1978 by Simon & Schuster, Anne Rivers Siddons does a terrific job making a house-- which people attempt to make a home in a middle class neighborhood-- terrifying and horrifying. And that's quite an accomplishment because I'm not a fan of horror. Although when I was a teenager I read The Shining and was so scared while reading it that I couldn't read it while alone in a room. And The House Next Door succeeded in making me a little scared of my own house, but that's a different story.  This is fun especially for this Halloween time of year.  Enjoy!
