2.5

Period-typical biases take away from what is otherwise an interesting take on a haunted house. Really enjoyed the ending but wish they had spent more time on the origins of what was going on. Very slow at times.

3.0

A bourgeois, late-70s, suburban horror. Really cool concept, but this book is unfortunately a product of its time.
