I don't know about this one. McGinnis is really good at drawing a realistic portrait of teens in crisis, and I think this one got a little carried away with the source material and made situations too unrealistic. There were far too many bodily fluids involved for my taste. On the other hand, it was atmospheric and chilling and well written. I probably wouldn't hand this to anyone unless they asked to be disturbed.
