Heather M. (gargirl) reviewed Like a Wander through someone else's Nightmare on + 36 more book reviews
I came across this book in a Barnes & Noble and the blurb on the back sounded interesting enough so I opened to the first page and read:
"Two nights before Halloween, as if it matters to anyone in the house, as if every day in this house isn't Halloween. As if every moment they live isn't the strain and the stretch, the hand reaching back, groping through bottomless candy bags down to where front porches glow with orange-flicker grins and skeletons dance hopscotch sidewalks and ring doorbells. And they are all here, here around her where they belong." ... and I was hooked.
Spyder Baxter and her friends, a bunch of beautiful, broken souls, each with their own demons, have found each other. Drawn to each other, sometimes united, sometimes squabbling like siblings, they find that curiosity really can kill the cat. Their toddling forays into shamanistic dream-quests serve only to bring them to the attention of the sort of dark and terrible beings it would have been better to be unmarked and unnoticed by.
A dark and disturbing book. Gritty and real, I could not put it down.
