I own two copies of this book. You will pry the first copy from my cold dead hands. I will give one away. I am a Dean Martin impersonator and this book means the world to me. Jerry Lewis is an Athiest. That makes the book so much more poignant. He misses his first love, Dean, so much you don't know. He says in this book that he believes that our souls are "put away" never to be heard from again. But the love that he feels for Dean is soooooo incredible. If noone requests this book from me, I will be so much more than happy to keep it. I don't know why, but you guys at the swap seem to LOVE your books like I do. I would never just toss this book away. get this book and read it and then share it. You will not be sorry. And as for me.... I love Dean. Check out our web site and see: www.dbmagic.net . Get this book as a gift. Trust me!

O.K. I'm one of those people who love a good ghost story. This one sounded pretty good. But it has to be told well. This author is an "inventory control analyst for an automotive co. He likes telling tales around the campfire." That's what he should continue to do. He is the perfect example of why not everyone should try to write a book. His sentence structure consists of one or two sylable words maybe five or six words in length. See jane run. Jane runs fast. Jane is a good runner. Watch her run. GIVE ME A BREAK! Here is an actual sample of his sentences... I'll open to a random page.
"Connie opens the door. They walk in and take a seat next to the bed. Megan looks reluctantly at her grandmother. Helen has lost a lot of weight. She doesn't even look like herself anymore. Megan looks around the room. Dreadful and sad. Sickening and thick."
"Megan and her father leave the room. Megan stops in her tracks. Megan feels as if someone is watching her. Megan has been dreading this day." FOURTEEN times the name Megan appears in one paragraph!!!!! I will give credit where credit is due, but this book actually made me mad. Don't you have to submit manuscripts for approval to publishers anymore or do you just get to publish meandering second grade garbage and call it a novel in order to make a few extra bucks off of the hard working folks who just want to read a decent ADULT novel? Now theres a sentence Mr Shriverdecker!
Don't quit your day job. As a matter of fact, get another job so you won't have time to write any more crap.

I enjoyed this book. It is up there with the Devil In Ct, although the Devil in CT is better. It is creepy and a quick read. I live a mile from this house and know Lorraine Warren and Ray Garton. As a matter of fact both of my hard cover copies of this book are signed by them in person. The history of the house and the conversations I've had with both Ray and Lorraine make the book a gem for me. I wouldn't swap one of my copies but I would consider a sale.... I have alot of books signed by these two...

This book was a little disturbing if you take it as something happening right now, every day, Oh My God! in the world. It could be... who knows. But it is not THE most disturbing book I have ever read. I think fans of Richard Laymon would LOVE this book! Richard Laymon writes about the dark, evil side of human beings. That is what this is. No supernatural horror... just sick people doing sick things to other people. There is only a couple "over the edge" moments. My wife cried at the end... It was touching. The ending softened the books content perfectly and made it all easier to take. I loved this book. I highly recommend it to Laymon fans especially.
