Here’s one good reason for staying home from school. . . Something strange is happening at Tyler High. The laid-back principal has become unusually strict. The janitors no longer work nights because of what they hear. The students are frightened by what they see. And things are happening on school grounds that defy rational explanation. But there is an explanation. It’s just nothing that anyone can begin to believe—or hope to survive.

I keep hearing good things about Bentley Little's books, but this is the second one that I've read now that I really had a low opinion of. I will admit that the pacing is great and keeps you turning pages, but overall, the story really fails.
A quick read and a fairly standard creepy story similar to something from Dean Koontz. A curse from the past takes over when the decision for a school to become a charter school is rammed through by the principal. As new strict and strange charter “rules” are put into place, many teacher and student personalities begin to change for the worse and those unaffected among the students, staff and student parents may soon become the school's victims.
