A little too slow paced for me. I agree with another reviewer...I find Peter Straub's wording and sentence structure confusing at times, and needed to re-read passages more than once. The story didn't flow well into my mind. I can usually sink into a groove, but not with this book for some reason. Reading this felt like a lot of work.

There were some definite scary and spooky bits, but the rest of the book felt like a slog to get through.
