This could easily have been a 4 or even 4.5 star rating if there had just been a tad more at the end. Something shocking or even something more heartfelt would have improved the book quite a bit, or even just a little more explanation of some of the casualties in the story.

Aside from wanting more of a good finish, this was one of Bentley's most interesting and engaging tales in quite some time. If you've read Bentley Little before, you probably know that he'll never write the next great American novel, and the closest he ever came was The Summoning back in the early 90's. If you love haunted house books, I don't think you'll regret devoting a few days to reading this. It's no Hell House, but it's a reason to keep reading Bentley Little's work.
