My library only carries her spooky books.

Her second book is Raising Demons. At least these won't give you nightmares like her scary stories. I am still reeling from reading "The Haunting of Hill House."Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-24238217745942515722012-12-30T18:11:24.577-05:002012-12-30T18:11:24.577-05:00Sorry you didn't love this quite as much as I ...Sorry you didn't love this quite as much as I did, but thank you for reminding me of that story, which I'd forgotten!

I could see how the excessive focus on the children could be off-putting. That was one of the problems with <i>Provincial Daughter</i> (written by E.M. Delafield's daughter), too. I am looking forward to reading it but will consider myself forewarned! Claire (The Captive Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07430380065718826213noreply@blogger.com
