Summary

The village of Ashford, New Jersey, is about to discover terror. The Howler, a bloody killer who has already shredded six teens, is moving in.

Seventeen-year-old Don Boyd doesn't need the grief. He's already under siege - jock trouble, girl trouble, school trouble, family trouble. Then one frosty autumn night, Don is jumped by the Howler. Suddenly they're surrounded by fog, green fire, the sound of iron striking iron.... And Ashford's real horror begins.

very different

There will be minor spoilers in this review. so don't read past here, because I will give a brief synopsis of the story.
.
.
.
.
A loner (teen boy) has these posters of animals that are his friends. One day, a poster comes to life... and is the horse helping him or hurting him?

A horse is an animal. with a simple brain. but when his human friend owner is distraught, the horse kills the person he's mad it. when it's a serial killer, that's cool. but not cool when a teen has an argument with his dysfunctional parents.

I can honestly say this is the first of this kind of story I've read, so it gets points for creativity. Other than that, it feels dated. I also would have enjoyed more about the serial killer. the murderer was the focal point, then abruptly, he wasn't. Overall, a decent story, but not one I would evervre read
