I was expecting a haunted house story never expecting the twist this horror tale took. Definitely gave me the willies after reading it right before bed. Badly enough that every little bump in the night had me hypersensitive and wondering what if... Then again isn't the mark of a good horror story having the horror stay with you long after the story is finished? For me it is, and this story delivered exactly that.The only constructive criticism would be my confusion as to why the main character leaves his front door unlocked when he walks the dog at night but seems a bit obsessive about locking his bedroom door. Leaving  the front door unlocked gives the reader an idea of the security the protaganist feels regarding his cozy little bungalow in the burbs. But the constant checking of the bedroom door lock position kind of negates that security. It just seemed odd and found myself wondering why he would lock the bedroom door if he felt safe enough to leave the front door unlocked when he left the house at night. Especially since I grew up in a small town in the 80's where no one ever locked their front door let alone a bedroom door.
