Negative Positive
Title: Too unpleasant
Review: I enjoy a good ghost story, and there are so few around. I hoped this would satisfy but I didn't even finish it. It's needlessly gory and filled with unpleasant images (starting right off with the hammer and testicle bit) that don't really seem necessary. Someone said Masterson is as good as the best Stephen King, which to me is not a good thing. I still have bad memories of the "puppy-in-the-refrigerator" episode from "It," which was just for shock value and turned me off King for good. Won't bother with Masterson's books any more, either.
Is the review positive or negative?
