I'm not really a fan of the haunted house story, but I grabbed a copy of this because it's a classic. I wasn't disappointed. There wasn't a whole lot in this book that scared me on a primal level, but there was a lot of disgusting shit that left me squirming in my seat. I was ready to give this guy 4 stars, but the ending kinda sucked, imho, so I knocked it down to 3 stars.

Still a book worth reading if you're into the horror genre and especially if you like haunted house stories.
