Another winner from Scott Nicholson!  This is the author who drew me back into the horror genre after many years away.  While I didn't enjoy this tale as much as The Red Church or Drummer Boy, it is still a highly recommended read.  A classic haunted house story with an Appalachian flavor, it tells of a group of artists who go on retreat to an isolated manor high in the mountains.  While there, they encounter spirits both within themselves and outside that shake their very foundations.  Nicholson is especially good at whipping up an epic climactic scene, and the final chapters to Creative Spirit are no exception.  I'm still trying to catch my breath.My only complaint lies in that Nicholson incorporated too many characters, in my opinion, and thus was not able to develop any of them to the extent that I would have liked.  Cutting back on a few of them and giving more attention to others would have been more pleasing to me personally.Scott Nicholson is an author you really ought to check out if you haven't.  I am already looking for my next Nicholson read.
