My Review
Stories about haunted houses never get old for me. I’ve read a bunch of them. What I look for to make the story is the characters and the nature of the haunting, what’s behind it.
One By One is told from the perspective of Alice, a ten year old girl, and that makes it even creepier. It begins on the first night they stay in the new house. A strange building with a secret past and a chilling drawing on the wall of a family that eerily resembles theirs. Her terrifying experiences in the house are brushed off as flights of fancy or nightmares by her parents. She’s even accused of doing some of the weird things that happen. Her older brother is no help. He just shuts himself in his room, listening to his music. But soon enough, it becomes apparent that something in the house is behind it. But what? And why? Figuring that out might be the only way they survive the house.
This story had eerie vibes right from the get go. I was hooked. Couldn’t wait to read on and see how events played out. The more into it I got, the darker and more mysterious it got. It takes a lot to make me wince and I did that several times. And to pull the wool over my eyes so completely. That was something. I looked up from the book, wanting someone to talk to about what just happened. No one but the dog was around. Darn it.
Calling all horror fans. A great story awaits you.

Synopsis
The Easton family has just moved into their new fixer-upper, a beautiful old house that they bought at a steal, and Alice, the youngest of the family, is excited to explore the strange, new place. Her excitement turns to growing dread as she discovers a picture hidden under the old wallpaper, a child’s drawing of a family just like hers. Soon after, members of the family begin to disappear, each victim marked on the child’s drawing with a dark black X. It’s up to her to unlock the grim mystery of the house before she becomes the next victim.
