Title: Lousy and absurd.
Product review: I'm always excited to see a new horror novel on the shelf. There just aren't enough of them out there these days to satisfy me. And I even enjoy the bad ones if they're fun. This one, however, was awful. I hated every one of the characters by the third or fourth chapter. The female protagonist is overly sensitive, paranoid, sees ominous signs in just about everything, (then obsesses about it for several pages,) and she faints 3 or 4 times before the book is half way through. The husband is a dolt, hot tempered, and also easily offended. The son is just a hateful brat. I guess the author wanted to create "family tensions" as a backdrop to the "spooky happenings" but it was so poorly done and unrealistic you'll hate these melodramatic people half way through the book. And even the supernatural elements are ham-handed and absurd. Over all, an amazingly bad book and really disappointing. ...
