Great horror book

I finally found a book that is 80's horror worthy. I got it through a book swap site and it's called Neighbors by Maureen S. Pusti. I'd link you but Amazon has no information on it, not even a review or picture. It was written in 1991 and it has that great story, I know something bad is going to happen, feel to it. The only bad thing is that there's a new dog in it and I fear for it. I know it's fiction and no dogs were harmed during the writing of the book but I just freaking hate that in anything I'm reading. Hopefully the dog saves everyone and all that but I'm worried. Otherwise though, I just started it last night and I'm halfway done with it. Excellent reading!
