Ratings and reviews

okay, The dad is abusive towards the mom and a acholic got into some trouble left the state to go back to their home town. He dies from the bloodline of the child and is turned over to this woman to be her slave. Do the mom and daughter go back to the states.? I see the background for it, but what's the purpose truly if you'll still be doing the same thing. Is he bound just to the house. Will others be able to see him or just her cause of the blood line.?. Great audio

Reminds me of the time in 1978 when I passed the house of a supposed Obeah woman on Nevis while walking in the countryside to visit a friend's godmother. On the way up we were peeking at her garden and house, on the way back after listening to tales where we visited we rushed past.

finally one of these horror books is really good!
