It’s a brilliant simple scare because who hasn’t seen something at night and rushed to turn on the lights?...

My copy — signed by authorTaylor Jenkins Reid, after I went to a reading of hers in London — is one of my prized possessions, and I largely consider it to be my favorite novel of all time.
