Title: Tedious
Product review: I have really enjoyed some of Clegg's books, particularly Hour Before Dark and The Infinite. I found this in a used bookstore and was eager to read it. It was vaguely Salem's Lot-ish, lots of characters in a small town and everyone eventually goes bad. Even though Clegg is basically a pulp horror writer, his characterizations, even here, are very good, realistic. This just didn't have enough of a plot to justify 400 pages. After awhile it became tedious and boring. Everyone is possessed by malignant evil and dies in appropriately grisly fashion. Yawn. The last half of the book needed to be trimmed by half again. Granted, it is his first published novel, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone other than diehard fans.
