Search - A Winter Haunting

A very mild mannered book. I kept expecting it to get scary. Some beautiful imagery, the writer is good. But, this book is for the meek at heart, not those that seek a good BOO!!!

Very good book. Creepy and subtle ghost story. I will be reading more of Simmons.

It was creepy enough to scare me a little.

I didn't care for this book, it just seemed to drag out too long for anything to happen, not much of a ghost story, it just didn't have any oommmmmph to it and it takes forever to get to the gist of what is going on until you're almost to the point of quitting it, which is what I did, it just couldn't hold my interest.

This book kept me up reading, and that is no small feat! Simmons creates a sense of place I have seldom seen, giving the book overall a scary feel. I did not like the end action scene much, as it resorts to classic King type of horror as opposed to the psychological scare he had used up till then, but most horror fans will like it, I think. As a writer, I appreciate his metaphors.

Great read. Suspense with lots of chair gripping pages. A scarey and most unnerving ghost story. I actually read this one twice with a year in between, it was that good.
