Helpful Score: 4

I am very glad this is finally back in print after thirty years. I did not find it very frightening, but much like Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle, it was atmospherically creepy.
There were certain parts of the book that didn't sit well with me ideologically, but that doesn't have any bearing on the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to just about anyone.
