This novel is a real jewel among all the cheezy horror novels of the late 80's and early 90's. (Back when nearly all of them had covers with skeleton faced children and holograms that turned into monsters and skulls.) It doesn't try to be anything more than a fun, creepy horror novel and the author does an outstanding job with it. The plot involves a kind of entity that bores into the very wood of a middle school. The entity feeds on the energy of those who walk its corridors and this supernatural feeding process seems to distort the fabric of our reality. It unleashes ghosts of the past, alien phantasms that slither from faucets and holes in the walls, and vine-like tentacles that snare it's victims... If you can get your hands on this paperback, do yourself a favor and snatch it up. It's a late-night/creature feature kind of book but it's very satisfying and entertaining, especially for horror fans. Kudos to Duigon for a great ride. And who doesn't think old schools are creepy anyway?
