For a haunted house to be born, somebody has to die.

When his best friend David Spivey inherits a mysterious house on a nearby island, it seems like the perfect place to spend their final summer before heading off to college. No parents. No police. No responsibilities.
As they dig into the island's dark past, they awaken an ancient evil that has influenced generations. What begins as an innocent summer adventure quickly descends into a nightmare.
"Something I Keep Upstairs" is a haunting exploration of friendship, sacrifice, and the darkness lurking just beyond our understanding. It will keep you on edge until the final, chilling page.

As a general rule I usually avoid this genre of book. However, when J. D. writes a book, this girl is going to read it immediately.
So on that note, I did find myself drawn into the story. There is intrigue and suspense and it is definitely creeped me out at times, not in a horror way, more of a chilling way.
If you're into a mysterious, haunting, thriller type story with some very real locations and history blended in, get to reading. Nik Nok.
