And cared about what happened to all of them except the "bad guy", who was an absolute villian. He was a former professor who got a kick out of murdering people with mental or physical defects. His step daughter is brilliant but has a leg brace. The mother is a wackadoodle. The neighbor lady goes on a quest to rescue the kid. And some aliens are thrown in for good measure.

Superstitious had a decent ending that made sense in a horror Sci Fi manner. That is just not my cup of tea. Yuck.

I'm going to start possibly my last free extra book I have sitting around. It's called Spook by Mary Roach. The cover says science tackles the afterlife. This has to be fiction? Right? We'll see?
