Let Him in by William Friend

5.0

Imaginary friend that may not be imaginary?! Sign me up. I love a good horror novel that lays out all the tropes, creepy twins, potentially cursed house, and grieving single parent. A slow burn but with maximum creepiness. The story is told from multiple POV between our main characters, Alfie, a recently widowed single dad of eight-year-old twins and Julia, the girls’ aunt and twin sister of Alfie’s late wife. I enjoyed the dual POV and the insight into Julie and Pippa’s childhood. I’d have liked to know more about this and felt the book would have benefited from some additional flashback chapters but understand why the author focused on the present. Overall this was a fun, quick and easy to read horror debut from an author to watch.
