A toy of evil

Johnstone makes a great read with Jack In The Box, it begins with a family out in New England with a history connected to witchcraft. The husband Nathan on a guy's weekend goes out and finds in an Antique Store an old Jack In The Box that plays a funeral dirge with a skull that comes out little knowing that it was the proud possession of a Nazi officer at a concentration camp, this gives his daughter who is in league with the devil power to control people to commit everything from catching fire, suddenly have the urge to molest children, and to go on a shooting rampages. The father and his Vietnam war buddies who make up his law practice band together to fight the evil his daughter, but can they truly be strong enough to beat the evil that is the Jack In The Box and perhaps still stay alive?

Eerie

I have read this book twice now. Mr. Johnstone could def write creepy stories. I remember being so disappointed when he decided to stop writing horror and switched to westerns. Anyway- when he described the Jack in the Box- I swear u could see it and hear it. I couldn’t imagine having that thing in my house. LOL! Def a great story.

TERRIFYINGLY TERRIFFIC!

This book had me at the edge of my seat. This book will leave images in your mind giving you a hard nights sleep. Enjoy!

A scary tale of Evil and the Devil

A bad seed of a girl is born into a good family and all goes well until she turns 13 that is when she is reunited with a old Jack In The Box that her father unwittingly(?) buys in a old curio shop. The girl and the box then proceeds to wreak havoc on everybody.This book is well written and fast paced. the history of the Jack In The Box is spooky and sounds like something that could have happened in real life. As with most of his other books I can't wait until a sequel is written about further adventures of this evil Jack In The Box.If you can find a copy of this book I would recommend reading it during a nice sunny day as if you attempt to read it at night or during a thunderstorm you will have nightmares about Jack In The Boxes.
