9/10 or 10/10

Best one I've read, it actually beats my favourites '1999' and 'In the Walls.'

It was not so much 'terrifying' as it was chilling - just to realise that all because of a balloon project in kindergarten, the narrator and his loved ones were tormented for years by the same creepy psychopath.

Many parts were full of dread - like when Josh and the narrator return to his old house to look for the cat.

But there were so many other emotions. Like the warm fuzzy excited feeling when the narrator meets Veronica, and the nostalgia of his friendship with Josh.

I was frankly shocked when Veronica was hit by the car. I rarely have sympathy for characters in stories, but that got to me for some reason. I felt as though the story was going so nicely = and then that happened.

It is also creepy to imagine the stalker and how obsessed and weird he was.

Intriguing, Chilling, and tragic. Best I've read so far.
