I read this book about 25 years ago and have loved it ever since.It took me years to track down a copy (this was well before Amazon and eBay).This haunting tale will stay with you and leave you longing for the author to write a sequel.I contacted the author and she said she still receives many letters about this book. She wrote in her letter that the picture on the front of the book shown above is the actual Gingerbread House in Colorado. Although the story is ficton, the house actually exists.This book is perfect for a rainy Saturday, when you curl up on the couch with a cup of hot tea.Just a warning, don't read it before you plan on going to sleep!No, you won't be too scared to sleep and it won't give you nightmares, but you will stay up all night, because you can't put it down!!
