Well this was one bizarre and creepy book!

It seems I read this every Halloween- well for the last few years at least. I still love it after all this time. If you a fan of Poe's story or Robert McCammon, you'll love this story. ...more

This would be my fourth Robert McCammon book, and a third one of his that I’d put pretty high on my favorites list. I really enjoyed this foray into the family of the Ushers. Lots of intrigue, mystery and a good cast of characters. A well crafted story with an interesting history. Recommended for horror or even dark fantasy fans. At least 4.5/5.0 stars for me.

One thing that I love about every McCammon’s book is that he really knows how to draw the sketch so it becomes easier for your imaginations to work on its own. Such a talent is hard to find and Mr. McCammon is one of them. He also described other Usher Patriarchs and t ...more
