The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum is $1.99 at Amazon US.
This is a modern classic of horror fiction, but be warned, it also has a reputation for being a brutal read. I haven't read it yet because of its reputation. And it is based on a true story.
Quote:
A teenage girl is held captive and brutally tortured by neighborhood children. Based on a true story, this shocking novel reveals the depravity of which we are all capable.
This novel contains graphic content and is recommended for regular readers of horror novels.
THE GIRL NEXT DOOR is alive...it does not just promise terror but actually delivers it.. it's a page-turner.. --Stephen King
