There were so many times that I was laughing out loud, thinking, that is exactly what I would be thinking, or doing in this situation. It's seems this author and myself share the same sense of humor. She begins to investigate and with the help of some very quirky neighbors, starts to unveil the nightmarish reality of her Grandma's house. While taking Bongo on a walk in the woods behind the house, she stumbles across something that leads her to believe Cotgrave wasn't imagining the mysterious beings recounted in his journal.

Mouse is definitely intrigued by what Cotgrave's has to say and she wants to find out more. Seeking refuge in her Step-Grandfather, Cotgrave's, room, the only room her Grandmother left uncluttered, she comes across his journal with some pretty strange things written inside.Īre they a true tale of horror, or just the terrifying hallucinations of a lonely old man losing his grip on reality? While this gives her beloved coonhound, Bongo, plenty to sniff and explore, Mouse can barely find room to sit down. These really have no bearing on the story, I just get freaked out by dolls. Her Grandmother was a hoarder, never throwing anything out, including an entire room of creepy old dolls. Mouse figures she'll feel good about helping and how bad can it be? Her Dad has had some recent health troubles and wouldn't be able to do it himself. When Mouse's Father enlists her help cleaning out her recently deceased Grandma's house, she happily agrees.
