Over at Kirkus: The Suffering by Rin Chupeco

Posted on October 30, 2015

It’s Friday, which means we are over at Kirkus for our regular weekly column!

Today, Thea hogs the column again–this time with a review of YA horror novel The Suffering by Rin Chupeco.

A sequel to 2014’s The Girl in the Well, The Suffering is effectively terrifying. This second book is every bit as well researched as the first, playing with some serious J-horror tropes and drawing on actual places and Japanese folklore. If you couldn’t tell, Thea loved it. Go here to get the full story.
