*The Horror Diary* is a ghost story with the surreal quality of a child's nightmare. If you suspend logic and just go along with the nightmare experience, you can enjoy the description and images of Arts Park and the exchanges between Karen and Ben. Those are the high points of the story.A weakness of the tale is the lack of depth of the villain. It might have been more effective to "show" in some brief vignettes his deteriorating mental state rather than to tell about it. There are also a number of inconsistencies.*The Horror Diary* definitely has some interesting moments, but I cannot recommend it.(less)
