Olathe Public Library- GoodReads Branch discussion

Spent some late nights with A Good and Happy Child by Justin Evans. It is a thriller/horror novel, but don't shy away if you don't usually read horror. All that is required is that you are willing to put up with a good scare. The primary character begins as an adult in psychotherapy, revisiting some traumas of his childhood, presented to us as flashbacks.
Very spooky with a plot somewhat along the lines of The Exorcist, or Donna Tartt's The Secret History.
A page turner for sure, well written and no "cheap" thrills. The characters are well drawn and sympathetic, the plot not so outlandish as to be unbelievable.
But you might want to leave the lights on after closing the book for the night...

Ooooh, thanks Lorie! This one flew under my radar, and you know I love a good scare!

This one came in to me as a hold, and I couldn't remember where I heard about it...thought maybe it was from you! LOL! Yes, it is very good, well written and good for a sleepless night with the lights on! :)
