I found this book to be a little difficult to follow, but it's not the type of book that I usually read either. The review on the back classifies this book as one of the best horror books after Stephen King; I didn't find this so much horror as I did just strange.
"There is a dark and isolated mansion, boarded-up and avoided, on a hill just beyond the town of Watch Point in New York's Hudson Valley. It has been abandoned too long and fallen into disrepair. It is called Harrow and it does not like to be ignored. But a new caretaker has come to Harrow. He is fixing up the rooms and preparing hte house for visitors...
What's been trapped inside the house has begun leaking like a poison into the village itself. A teenage girl sleeps too much, but when she awakens her nightmares will break loose. A little boy faces the ultimate fear when the house calls to him. A young woman must face the terror in her past to keep Harrow from destroying everything she loves. And somewhere within the house a demented child waits with teeth like knives."
Quoted fromt the back of the book. It gives a much better review than I can come up with.
