I am an avid Dean Koontz and Bently Little reader and am used to scary unexplained happinings. I was very dissapointed in this book: the lead up and parts of the story line were good but the ending was such a let down that the good parts did not make up for it. This may be a good book for a person just getting into scary books and new to the genre but not for the horror fans.

A ghost story that jumps from decade to decade. Not too scary. Some sexual content and violence.
