I love books that psychologically thrill and terrify me. The plot was a little predictable, but at parts it took twists I wasn't expecting. This book read like a bad dream only in reverse. You have a bad dream, you wake up, and you think, "thank god, that was only a dream." In this story, the characters live their lives as if everything is normal but wake up to find that a part of their reality was a lie. Slade House is ghost story meets haunted house meets Inception.
