Book Review of The Night Visitors

The Night Visitors
maura853 avatar reviewed on + 542 more book reviews


A horror story -- without much horror. The story of a family curse -- without much sense of the family ... or the curse. A reflection on art, and fame, and ambition that doesn't ring true for a moment?

This has all of the artificiality of epistolary novels, and none of the artifice. And, while I "get" what happens in the end (oh, yeah, I get it ...) I honestly don't believe a word of it.
