This review is from: The House on Nazareth Hill (Hardcover)

I thought this book was great. Ramsey Campbell is one of the best horror writers with a very original unusual way of expressing his words on the written page. His characters seem to view the world as a very strange and sinister place indeed. This is one of his best along with his other novel Incarnate. It centres around the claustrauphobic world of a teenage girl who moves into a building that was previously a mental hospital and is very creepy indeed. She is rebellious and headstrong and often clashes with her father. Everything in her world is unsure and she feels very alienated. She feels strongly the building is evil and she's not the only one. A great novel full of suspence and creepy atmosphere. Well worth reading
