The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum

The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum

David is twelve in a quiet New Jersey suburb in 1958 when two orphaned sisters move in next door with their aunt. Over the course of a summer, what happens in that basement becomes the thing the neighbourhood children participate in and do not report.

Ketchum based it on the murder of Sylvia Likens, and the novel is deliberately unbearable — not because of what is described, but because it is narrated by a boy who could have stopped it and did not. Stephen King called it the scariest book he ever read. It is not entertainment.

A landmark of extreme horror. Extremely graphic — read the content warnings and take them seriously.
