Night After Night by Phil Rickman
5.0
I don't know if you've necessarily heard of Phil Rickman before, but in case you haven't, he write mysteries of a semi-paranormal bent. His most famous creation is Merrily Watkins, a diocesan exorcist, who gets pulled into mysteries by the local police force, when there seems to be things of a slightly paranormal bent going on.
Rickman hasn't written as much about her of late. Maybe it was becoming hard to come up with new stories (how many rural/semi-rural religious conundrums can there be?), so this book is different. It sees a group of z=list celebrities get locked in a haunted house for a week (a la Celebrity Big Brother), as they tell themselves horror/ghost stories a la one of those bad ghostly haunting shows, or Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk).
Personally, I liked it. My grumble for a while has been that they Watkins books haven't been that scary, and that it felt like he was jumping on bandwagons of late. This book isn't like that, and it feels better because of it.
