1.0 out of 5 stars Elementary
This book reads like it was written by a child. It seems like the author was trying too hard to be scary, and it just didn't work. Maybe someone new to the horror genre would find this one scary, but for anyone who does a lot of reading this one is just elementary. I think I wrote better scary stories when I was 12.

This was a great book. This was the first I read by this author and now I am hooked on his work. The details were very intense and it was a very creepy book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Truly awful, February 8, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sandman (Paperback)
This book stays with you. I'll probably remember it forever. I wish I could say that was because it was so good. But it wins the prize for "The Worst Book I've Ever Read." Hands down. This book is unspeakably bad. Poorly written, contrived, awful characterizations, unintentional hilarity...this book has it all. It is a very easy read (it took me all of three hours from start to finish) so if you're looking for a laugh in the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" style, then this is your book. They don't get any worse than this.
