Helpful Score: 3

Dan Simmons is my new favorite horror novel writer. He kept me up at night with this one. And I'm not ususlly a scaredy-cat. It has almost everything --- ghosts, slime, heart pounding suspense, an old haunted school, and a bunch of young kids who are saving the town without the town even knowing it. I could say that the kids are way too young to be this wise and learned, but it's ok, they seem to fit. With all the weird and terrible stuff going on, somehow the ending ties up all the loose ends. It's a good read!
On the other hand, don't bother with the follow up, "A Winter Haunting." It's a real waste of reading time.
