This book seemed all over the place to me and the story jumped around. I guess I was expecting a true haunted house/ghost story..imo, it was anything but! The only really good thing is that it was a relatively short book that I was able to wrap up very quickly!
One of the most astonishingly creepy books I've ever read -- a horrifying little ghost story that seemed like just another dreary tale of marital ennui, until.... Happy Halloween, Mr. Shepard. I'll be visiting your claustrophobic, hopeless, depressing, haunted vortex for many nights to come.
