Dallas' Book Report: The House by Bentley Little (1997)
Well, this was a doozy of a read. Not because it was a wretched read of a book per se, but because it led to levels of discomfort that made this tome a struggle to get through. I'll be brief with the synopsis; we all have other things to do, after all. The story involves a group of people from different parts of the country who begin seeing strange (and weirdly sexual) spirits. These spirits, as well as the group of individuals in question, are all connected to a house in the middle of nowhere that acts as a repressed memory for them. Needless to say, the house calls to them, and this ragtag group must make the trek to come to grips with what happened there and how they are all connected to "The House." It is worth stating the positives first: the writing in this book is terse and flows at a nice pace, which is important for a book with so many characters. Which is the double-edged sword of this haunted house...
