Got this book rather inexpensive. I simply cannot believe the amateurish writing, the stilted dialogue, the boring scenes that could be thrown away with zero impact on the “story.” I don’t know where to begin with how awfully stupid this book is. Ooh... everyone’s scared of the basement. Oh no, something appeared then disappeared, so scawey!!! This book is a complete waste of time. No, really, I usually force myself to finish a book that I’ve purchased, but I just can’t even with this one. You know how everyone thinks they have a novel in them? So did this author and unfortunately someone encouraged him to try to write one. He must have had a terrible writer’s group. Oh, and, there’s a brief, graphic sex scene, so that makes the book edgy and cool! What a daring author! He’s really expressing himself through his work! Give me a break...

Really Great Book. Highly Recommended.

I enjoyed it like all of his other ones I've read

Bentley Little books are never a disappointment

Ouch harsh. The problem I had with this book was how the author just couldn't seem to stick to the topic. I felt an unnecessary amount of off topic fluff. Instead using words and pages to create well developed characters or intriguing imagery, I found myself rolling my eyes and skimming quite a bit. The ending was decent. I certainly commend the author for trying to write this book from numerous characters povs, and include flashbacks from fictitious historical characters. however, again, I'm left with questions regarding certain events and themes that were simply dropped which leads me to believe they were never fully realized or completely unnecessary. there is probably a good book in here. It just needs a good editor. I gotta say an adjective would pop up approx. Once every 20 pages that seemed so contrived it must have been pulled directly from a thesaurus . I'm sure the author did a better job than I could have. He's listed as a top horror writer. To be fair the only creepy stuff I've read has been written by cormac McCarthy, George r r Martin, Shirley Jackson and other authors that don't go creepy all the time. I think I'm more into a well written book than a creepy book. I just wish there were some out there that were both!

Great!!!!!!!!!
