There's Someone Inside Your House

There's Someone Inside Your House

by Stephanie Perkins


It all started with an egg timer. 

It shouldn't have been on the porch. 

Once inside, it was put back on the counter.

The butter knife in the sink was suddenly in the dishwasher.

But now the egg timer is on the floor? 

Back on the counter. 

Must be tired. Time for a nap.

The next thing heard was the ticking of the egg timer on the nightstand right before it went off. 

And that's how the story of the serial killings in Osborne, Nebraska begin.

The killer is everywhere and making himself known in the little things that no one notices like misplaced gym clothes and open cupboards. 

When things start going missing or are moved to strange places, don't think you're crazy... Think of HIM. 

 

Final thoughts: Decent horror story with some really grisly deaths. It feels like it was written to be made into a movie, which (HEY!) it IS! Netflix made it and it's set to be released sometime this year. The overall plot is pretty standard and fairly predictable. The killer's motive is a little ridiculous, but it's all tidy at the end. 

Rating: 3.5/5 rounding up to 4 for simplicity
