On the subject of horror

I've been reading something that was recommended to me by Claire. She even lent me the book. So I started reading it, and it seemed pretty normal. Your average sort of creepy children story. Until I realized that it wasn't like that at all. The actual children didn't show up until about the hundredth page. I was actually pretty confused. But it's been a fun read so far. The characters are less complicated than the stuff I've read in the past, but realistic none the less. the character most talked about in depth might be the main character's, Jake, deceased grandfather. it's interesting because he dies very early on in the story as a plot point. Eventually Jake ends up following his grandfathers final words, cryptic of course, what other kind of last words are there, to an old orphanage where crazy kids with superpowers roam free, with the added bonus of time travel. Though it was addressed to me as a horror story, it's not scary to me so much as it is a puzzle. I'm trying to figure it out as i go along, and that's not exactly easy sometimes. but there are bits to it that really click when something is explained and that's the sort of thing that i love. anyway, it's a fun book, but it's probably not something that i would want to write or think extensively on. But great if you just want an entertaining read.
