| 07.13.05 | This book was strangely good. First off it mixes genres of haunted house, ghosts, and serial killer mystery and tells through subjective voice to the point where you're not quite sure what's real, what's just something somebody said, and what's in someone's imagination. Secondly, Straub manages to tell you each of the plot points twice, and (the real achievement here) you are still somehow interested in hearing it the second time. It's also pretty short and not prone to slow and meandering anecdotes or tertiary "atmosphere" things like Ghost Story, which to be honest is the only other non-King-collaborative Straub book I've read. Not sure how it sounds above so I'll reiterate that I really liked it. |
