You Can't See Beyond The Veil

The white one bedroom house on Stewart Street has many hidden secrets. An evil from within the basement is unlocked and begins to psychologically torture one of the residents. Sam is battling his inner demons and must face something perhaps even more sinister than losing his mind. It visits him each morning at 3 am. The Devil's Hour.

DEVIL'S HOUR by Simeon Gregory is full of suspense and terror, from a kid's POV. There is plenty of misdirection throughout the story, as well, but the one thing missing is anything resembling a backstory. As a result, there are definitely a few loose ends, once the story winds down.

I would have preferred to know more about Sam's family background, the history of the night visitor...seems like a lot of unrelated details are thrown in, when there could've been more focus on the basement (as an example).

Still a good story to read, especially before bedtime.

As always,
