Tess is beginning to realise that the Funhouse can scare you… to death. When another “accident” occurs in the Funhouse, Tess knows she was the intended victim. That person is playing a deadly game and Tess is in the way. So no-one believes Tess when she says she saw someone tampering with the track…īut one person knows that Tess is telling the truth. When the Devil’s Elbow roller coaster flies off its rails, everyone thinks it was a terrible accident. Summary: The Boardwalk is the focal point in the lives of the teenagers of Santa Luisa. I know a lot of people do, but I like to believe I have a special kind of love for them, because I like them when they’re shut down and spooky, and this book has brief mentions of this. Ribena is now a banned substance.Īs a side note, I love theme parks/thrill rides. The first is nearly dead and accompanied me on my trip to Austria (yes, Wing, we have been to Austria), someone’s Ribena exploded all over it, and I very unhappy. I love this book so much I have three copies of it. Not about Diane Hoh, she is my PH goddess, but about how unlikable everyone else’s characters are. However, it’s been years since I really read these books, so I could be wrong. In my opinion, Diane Hoh writes the best Point Horror, and her characters are actually likable, rather than the soulless bastards that I remember running rampant through everyone else’s books.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Diane Hoh including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.So, I’m going to start things off with my favourite Point Horror of all time, Diane Hoh’s Funhouse. Five more teens will suffer before the killer is through, and Tess may be about to put herself on the list of victims. As people rush to help, Tess spies a black-suited figure running away from the crowd. It’s the worst tragedy Santa Luisa has ever seen, but it’s only the beginning. One of Tess’s classmates is dead on impact, two are forever maimed, and over twenty others are taken to the hospital. Tess is eating a hot dog when the Boardwalk’s roller coaster-the Devil’s Elbow-jumps the track, hangs for a moment in the air, and then plummets to the ground. The amusement park employs half the town’s workers, pulls in tourists, and gives teenagers like Tess Landers someplace to hang out on the weekends. If it weren’t for the Boardwalk, the small town of Santa Luisa might disappear altogether. A high schooler suspects that a tragic roller coaster crash wasn’t an accident
