Publisher's Summary

No one lived in the house in Pellam Woods....

The mansion in Pellam Woods had been shipped in, piece by piece, and reconstructed in the forest at the edge of town. The citizens of Edgar Falls wondered who would build such a grand house in their sleepy little backwater. But the house sat vacant....

Then the dying began....

A mother lights her home ablaze, burning her six children alive....

A young boy drowns himself in a lake....

Twelve-year-old Bobby Topin sensed something evil inside the house. Something that tried to crawl inside his mind. One by one, the townsfolk are falling victim to their darkest impulses. And only Bobby knows that the house where no one lives is home to a malevolent force....

pretty good

Ok, but I actually liked this one, even though it's not quite my genre. I found it on Audible a few years ago and thought, sounds like fun! I had no idea that it was written in the 80s mostly because the way it was written, it sounds like it's set anywhere from the 40s to the 70s. It's like an amped-up, slightly sleazy version of Little House on the Prairie. That's where the book shines, when it goes full "Harper Valley PTA" and illustrates the malice and hypocrisy in small town life.
Where the book falls short is the lack of depth and world-building in regards to the horror element. We never learn anything about the house, and that was frustrating.
The characters were great, and there were some genuinely tragic scenes. The ending felt wasn't bad, but it felt abrupt.
