Good creepy read.

The remains of a young girl are found in an abandoned well. What secrets did she take to her grave? And who is responsible for her death? As the community looks for answers, a ring is found with the remains. A young girl acquires it and finds herself stalked by some dark, shadowy presence. A kind of wraith that whispers to her and incites her to kill... Jensen is a great storyteller and hugely under-appreciated. Her books are always entertaining and deliver real chills. Recommended for horror fans and anyone who enjoys a good creepy story. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Jensen's work.

Well-told chiller!

this is the second time for me of reading a book by Jensen.The first book I read The Haunting was lackluster horror novel so I was very surprised with the quality of this novel.nine-year old Greta is out playing with her cousins when they find a ring down a old well and a skeleton! Greta decides to keep it for herself and soons regrets her decision for when she puts her ring on she is terrorized by a evil force that beckons her with whispers to kill her family!Greta's family one by one falls victim of this evil force in the guise of a formless black shadow.This quietly eerie horror novel combines supernatural menace with a murder mystery as a policeman in the neighborhood tries to catch the killer of the person in the well.Both storylines converge into a chilling and surprising conclusion!Jensen has written a chilling story of one family who has some skeletons in their own closet and their fatal and terrifying experience with the supernatural.
