This book is probably going to be eclipsed by The Passage, and that's too bad. I enjoyed The Passage, but this book is definitely creepier (vengeful ghost trumps hordes of vampires, I think). (So read both, won't you?)

I think it's best to go into this one knowing as little as possible, but here's a little info to get you started. Eric Shaw is in a tiny town in Indiana to make a documentary about Campbell Bradshaw. Almost immediately after arriving, he starts seeing visions and the longer he stays, they become increasingly creepy and vivid. And they center around Campbell Bradshaw.

This book's pretty thick (503 pages in the ARC I got) but it isn't at all hard to read. It's the work of a weekend, if you have one free. The sense of dread arrives early and starts slowly getting worse until you can't put the book down. So if you want something that's genuinely creepy and that is also incredibly good? Snag this book. (You can thank me later.)
