House of Dark Shadows By Robert Liparulo
Genuis blend of genuine creepiness with hilarity!
I can't believe no one mentioned the hilarious descriptions of the brother's- Xander and David's fear and nervousness,as they set about exploring this huge house,and investigating noises,such as David being stuck to Xander like a "wet leaf"!
There are actually several tense moments in this story,with an atmosphere of creepiness,interspersed with laugh-out-loud funny incidents such as the one mentioned above,that do not detract from the suspense at all. I can't recall ever before reading a book where I laughed out loud at the same time that my hair was standing on end,LOL!
I am so happy that I have the second book in the series "Watcher In the Woods" here,ready to start reading tonight.
I hope this author will treat us to many more such stories. I highly recommend the Dreamhouse Kings series for others like me,who love horror/fantasy/sci-fi without all the offensive elements found in many such offerings for the adult market.
