Title: Even new houses can be haunted
Review: It's hard to believe that this tale of a house gone bad was written over 25 years ago. The atmosphere created around an upscale neighborhood of BMW's and martini drinkers felt remarkably current and not at all dated. In fact our society is likely even more enamored today with the trappings of the wealthy than when this novel was first written. This creepy story focuses on a new house built in an established well-to-do neighborhood. Although the reasons are inexplicable, the house itself is hell bent on wrecking havoc on the individuals who reside within it's walls. There are no ghosts here, just a malevolent force bent on destruction.Told from the perspective of the couple who live next door, this novel provides a different take on the traditional haunted house genre; that of the observer not the resident. My only minor criticism of this story was that the ending felt somewhat rushed given the build up. Still, a worthy book if your looking for a late night read.
