Story
Both a haunting coming-of-age story set in North Texas against the backdrop of a deadly tornado, and a character-driven, deeply-affecting supernatural thriller. In 1979, a massive tornado devastates the city of Wichita Falls, Texas, leaving scores dead, thousands homeless, and nine-year-old Todd Willis in a coma, fighting for his life. Four years later, Todd awakens to a world that looks the same but feels different in a way he can't quite grasp. For Todd, it's a struggle to separate fact from fiction as he battles lingering hallucinations from his long sleep.

Story
Earlier this year, Tony Hendra’s memoir, Father Joe: The Man Who Saved My Soul, spent 13 weeks on the New York Times best seller list. The book detailed his life as a comedian who launched the careers of John Belushi and Chevy Chase and helped create such cult classics as This Is Spinal Tap while he struggled with inner demons including alcohol and drug abuse. But there was a glaring omission in his supposed tell-all confessional: his sexual abuse of his daughter, Jessica Hendra, when she was a young girl.

Listen to The Empty Lot Next Door if you:
- like true ghost stories and believe in haunted houses
- fear the paranormal and scare easily
- are afraid of the dark and sleep with the lights on
In a South Austin neighborhood, Ray (Arthur's childhood name) and his family excitedly moves into a small house standing in the midst of a big, green lawn. Beside their house is a strange, vacant lot where a house apparently once stood, and where a huge wide hole in the back lays mysteriously. As a young boy with a lot of new friends, Ray considers the empty lot as an exciting playground. But the tale behind the lot keeps the boy intrigued and frightened as he learns that the house that was once there was burned down years ago, leaving a girl dead amid the fire. The little girl, as the neighborhood kids say, comes out in the night to regain her life. Determined to validate the authenticity of this tale, Ray daringly and mistakenly challenges the ghost, a challenge that he would forever regret. Soon, he becomes haunted by the little girl, who he named as Candle Face, visiting his dreams and leaving handprints and other signs even when he is awake.
Many years later, Ray, now a military man, commits another mistake by telling his wife about his dark past. Along with the tale of the empty lot, he discloses to her the truth about the circumstances of his brother's suicide and the dreams of torment he and Candle Face bestowed upon him for many years. With the past once again revived, Ray faces another set of nightmares, this time with his loved ones' lives at stake.

Sad Wee Tale
Ray is 11, he is the youngest of the four boys and is picked on. They move house which has a vacant lot next door, as all kids do they spread rumours about what happened there. Ray plucks up the courage to see what is there, and unearths a ghost.
I found this quite upsetting as the family were all so intent on just getting out to work that they never saw how disturbed the second youngest, Richard, was. He would come back visibly and emotionally beaten but still he was ignored.

the ending kind of left me hanging....like, ' that's it? it's over?" .....overall, it was ok, but definitely not spine tingling
