Book Review: The Day of the Door
Think The Haunting of Hill House meets Mommy Dearest with a touch of Let Him In — The Day of the Door has a twisty, scary plot that kept me guessing from the start. Jump scares and gruesome events kept my heart pounding until the last pages. I thought I knew what was coming several times, but kept being surprised.
Nowadays, the “narcissistic parent” label is thrown around almost as often as “gaslighting,” but in this case, it sure fits. The surviving Lasco kids are brought back to their old childhood home to take part in a ghost hunting documentary, a common trope, but the author kept it fresh and entertaining. She put her own spin on her story and my attention never wavered.
Thank you to Laurel Hightower, Ghoulish Books, and BookSirens for the free advance reader’s copy of this excellent novel. I’m under no obligation to give a positive review, but I’m happy to be able to give one. Horror fans will love it.
