In the book, The Horror Diary, written by Brendan Verville, we are introduced to a little girl names Kendra who is 7 years old. Kendra has two young friends named George and Aaron and together, the three of them are about to face a terrifying adventure that no child should ever have to face. This wonderful work of horror literature was spellbinding to say the least. Kendra is an innocent little girl who lives with her Mom and Dad and is facing something so horrible that even she has somehow placed the terrible things which have happened to her, in a deep space in her mind, locked away and hidden so that she doesn’t have to truly face the things which happened. As many families do, Kendra and her family move from place to place without ever staying long enough for her to make any friends. She does make a friend though somehow. A little boy named Ben, who comes to her only in her dreams. She and Ben become quite close friends, and eventually, Ben not only comes to Kendra in her dreams, but also in her waking life as well. Ben shows Kendra things that she could only imagine, and one day, he not only shows her happiness and playful things, but he shows her the truth of what she has been through. As I read the book, I could visually picture little Kendra and all of the things that happened around her. It takes a truly great author to be able to bring someone into their work of literature so much that they can feel the surroundings as being described in the book. Brendan Verville has accomplished bringing his writing to life in this enthralling thriller! I look forward to reading more from Brendan Verville as he has now become one of my favorite authors! I recommend this book to all. Especially to those who enjoy a good mystery and want to read one that will keep them glued to the pages from beginning til the very end!
