I am obsessed with horror. I watch hundreds of horror let’s plays. I have seen almost every horror movie on Netflix and Hulu. But one media I haven’t consumed in the horror genre is books. I’m not entirely sure why, but I’m hoping to change that. Reading Welcome to the Dark House was a very creepy but exciting experience. Because I’ve consumed so much horror, I kind of knew what to expect in terms of what was going to happen to the characters but it didn’t lessen my enjoyment of the book. I still had an absolute blast with this book and it kept me hooked until the very end. Speaking of characters, there were definitely a lot. 6 (six) in total. Ivy had the most amount of page time as the story largely revolved around her and her past. I enjoyed her character. She was smart but honestly, I don't really remember her too much. The one character I do remember is Garth because of how unlikable he was. He was an asshole for no reason and was a big bully, constantly making fun of others especially Ivy. I hated when the chapters were about him. I skimmed them quickly so I wouldn’t have to deal with him for too long. I also appreciated that each character had very different personalities, which helped to keep all their stories straight. I don’t want to give too much away so I’ll end the review here. This book is best experienced blindly. It’s a creepy book, reminiscent of Saw (which is one of the few horror movies I refuse to see because I don’t handle gore well. The most gore I can handle is Texas Chainsaw Massacre) but a bit more gentle. Kind of. Anyway. Do yourself a favor and check this book out.
