This is such a great book. I read it in one day. I was so drawn in by the plot. It grabs you and keeps you very interested throughout the entire book. I have read other books by John Saul, but I think this is by far his best. I would recommend this to anyone.

This is a very well written book but at times it seemed repetitive. The characters are well defined and have great personalities. This was a quick fast paced read with a surprise ending. A classic Saul work.

Good book.
Matthew knows that something evil is going on when his grandmother moves in. Scary!
I love this book. I had read it some time ago but chose it again because it's just a good book. Very surprising ending, at least it was to me.
Very spooky.
Creepy, I love John Saul's books!
A very good read that was hard to put down. Twist and turn towards the end is captivating.
Much like his other books. Suspenseful and well thought out.
Nightshade: a perfectly macabre tale of a household ripped apart by malevolent forces.
truly bizzare.. fans of Saul will like it.
Suspenseful, scary read about a dysfunctional family that moves into an old house they inherit and weird stuff starts to happen. Matt, the male teen ager of the family even gets possessed.
There are enough twists and turns to keep your mind churning and scarey stuff to keep your stomach rolling.

One of my favorite John Saul books.

Great read! Very creepy!
Excellent but disturbing at the same time.
Read this book is horrific! And I loved it! I have read it twice over the last couple of years because it's such a great book with shocking events that kept me reading well past midnight!
Typical John Saul. Good story line and suspensful.
this is one of the best Saul books i have read
Great story. Well written. Leaves you guessing till the end.
another great book from John Saul.
Another good horror/mystery from Mr.Saul. Was a fast read, halfway through, i was turning pages faster to get to the ending. There's not too much gore or anything that's too disturbing, for those who dont like that kind of thing.
