Join me for 30 Days of Horror in which we spotlight one horror book for each day until we reach Halloween!
Tonight’s pick is a classic. I haven’t read it, but I saw the movie adaptation late one night when I was probably too young to watch it, and boy did it stay with me.

I love these retro covers too!

Have you read it? What did you think?
