Wow.  I started this book thinking it would be a bit formulaic, but boy was I wrong!  It begins creepy and just gets creepier the more you read.  Such a smorgasbord of horror: kids with telepathy and clairvoyance, not to mention their bad behavior; ghosts, evil doctors and a very evil father, and a staff you don't know are good or bad, are just some of the twists and turns in the Wendover Home for troubled children that Scott Nicholson so deftly takes you through.  The book begins by the arrival of Freeman Mills at the home and progresses through his radical and horrific treatments (and other children).  Nicholson obviously did his research on the science because he is dead on which had me believing this place actually existed up in the North Carolina Appalachians.  I've been reading all types of horror for 50 years and this novel gave me goose bumps in a couple places.  Not easy to do.  It is highly recommended.
