The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"
This kind of story is mixing influences from Scooby doo and spiderwick chronicles, and surely from other young adult horror stories. It's refreshing, and you can't help but get dragged into the events by the characters. Dialogues are lively and well-written, even though some description could be added for each scene. The pacing is perfect, and there's always that kind of frightening, doubtful, and unnerving atmosphere kept at each chapter. I vividly recommend it!
