The Reunion is a wonderfully well-written horror novel that will leave even those who aren't typical fans of the genre unable to put it down! It follows the story of a group of people together for a high school reunion but almost as soon as starts, this soon descends into a world of horror and thrilling 'end-of-the-seat moments'. Usually I'm quite sceptical of horror books because unlike the category suggests, so many are just made of the same repeated storyline's and really aren't exciting in the slightest. Fortunately in 'The Reunion' A.A Pencil expertly weaves nightmarish scenes with gripping plot twists as he charts the growing paranoia of the remaining reunion guests. At times I often felt as if I could no longer keep reading but as you'll find, once you've started it's almost impossible to stop! I love that a book can actually achieve this effect as it's something usually reserved for the scariest of films, and this is testament to Pencil's effectiveness as a writer . I thoroughly recommend the book and I can't wait for the next instalment in the 'Beneath the Trap Door' series!
