5 Spooky Stars!
Gore-laden horror but rife with deeply detailed characterization and realistic character evolution, THE ROOM UPSTAIRS makes me glad to live in a single-story home. A blended family in Birmingham, England, is poor but mostly happy. Until a visit to a car boot sale (similar to American flea markets) sees the adolescent daughter bringing home an antique-appearing pendant and the eleven-year-old son a doll replica of a film series' evil clown, and real Evil enters the household, tempting each member into wishes, ranging from the simple and mundane, to life-changing and life-destroying. Author Iain Rob Wright delivers imaginatively-premised unspeakable, implacable, Horror. Just try to sleep after reading this one. That creaking door will keep you wide awake.
