A disturbing tale of childhood cruelty. Barbara is babysitting a family of children while their parents are away for a week. However, the children instead turn the tables and take her captive. With no one to help, Barbara is alone with the children, whose psyches are corrupted by the newfound power over the helpless adult in their hands.

A nauseating masterpiece on the level of The Girl Next Door. Rich in setting and period detail - this novel glows with the warmth of summer in the 70s - and psychological depth. A horrific event is examined from every possible angle, in slow motion. Long out of print, this book is being done a phenomenal service by Valancourt/Paperbacks from Hell, with a perfectly executed reissue including an introduction from paperback horror champion Grady Hendrix. This is a must purchase for some readers, and deserves the resurgence it will hopefully receive. But know going in that it's grotesque nature isn't for everybody.
