It’s a really great premise, starting with that reasonableness – “I used to live here, it holds warm fuzzy memories, can I just…?” – and they come in, but then they stay. One of the kids in the group goes and hides in the basement. It’s so weird and so well paced and so well done. I don’t actually know how to try to describe what happens in this novel.
