Title: Poor plot. Not scary.
Review: I read, and liked, "Terror." The next book, by Simmons, I read was "Drood"-- which I liked nearly as much. Searching for a good "haunted house" tale, I gave this one a shot. To be brief: the book is not scary. The book is about a middle-aged, suicidal-depressive, who (probably) has some unsettling hallucinations. Stick with M.R. James if you want a ghost story by a master teller. Sorry Dan, this one was a real dud.
