Title: One of the worst books
Review: I know how misleading books can be with the title and cover art but this story caught me totally off guard. Judging by the cover I was expecting a family moving into an old house by the lake with spooky goings on, but this really had nothing to do with a lake at all. There's a good flashback about one of the characters summers spent at a lake, it was well written and hard to put down for the first few days, then after that it all got a bit confusing. Nothing is really well explained, there seems to be about five stories in one, you wonder whether Laymon was thinking about keeping it in just to prove he had a lot of ideas, at one point during the book where Diana goes into the house full of old hags, I felt like putting the book down it was so far-fetched. I love Richard Laymon but this was the worst book I have read by him...
