A once-respected college professor and novelist, Dale Stewart has sabotaged his career and his marriage—and now darkness is closing in on him. In the last hours of Halloween he has returned to the dying town of Elm Haven, his boyhood home, where he hopes to find peace in isolation. But moving into a long-deserted farmhouse on the far outskirts of town—the one-time residence of a strange and brilliant friend who lost his young life in a grisly “accident” back in the terrible summer of 1960—is only the latest in his long succession of recent mistakes. Because Dale is not alone here. He has been followed to this house of shadows by private demons who are now twisting his reality into horrifying new forms. And a thick, blanketing early snow is starting to fall.

Spændende, ja. Uhyggelig, nej.Interessant fortællestil med to forskellige fortællere, et roligt meget amerikansk plot og alting bindes sammen med en lille sløjfe til sidst.

Spændende set up, men der er en risiko for at blive belærende og kedsommelig, når man bruger meget intertekstualitet. Og det sker her. Har ellers nydt Hyperion-serien, men her mistede jeg interessen for både personer og handling. Dog fint oplæst.

SÅ meget mere end "bare" en gyser

Den er meget skuffende, og det bedste ved bogen er oplæseren, som er god. Den halvdel jeg lyttede, før jeg gav op, af ren kedsomhed, var så langtrukket og intetsigende. Det er så skuffende at ingen kan skrive en ordentlig gyser med ghosts hauntings and other awesome supernatural stuff, but no, they all make them borring or so far out, you cant even follow in your fantasy. Sad.
