I really enjoyed this story. Some may say that it is not original, and that it is a "formula" story, but I tend to disagree. It is a story that involves a haunted house, but that is where the familiarity ends for me. I love the fact that this is not a trapped soul story. These spirits are not in torment, they are simply evil. I thought (as always) McKinney's characters are very well developed and they either elicit feelings of pity, hatred, disdain or concern. This is an oddity in most horror fiction today, in my humble opinion. It is odd to have some sort of feeling for every character introduced in a story, no matter how insignificant they are. Jerry McKinney has the ability to make every character absolutely real. That to me is just one reason that I believe everyone should read his stories. He is really an amazingly gifted author and I will be eagerly awaiting his next release!!!!
