I did not care much for this, I'm afraid. It's interestingly structured, but that's about all that appealed to me. Anderson, the dead protagonist of earlier volumes, left behind an unpublished manuscript of the various haunted houses he investigated. In going through these cases, and presenting a summary of them, his successor is influenced by the manuscript into investigations of his own, using his own family as subjects. (If nothing else, this series is full of unpleasant main characters.) So in some ways this reads like a collection of short stories more than anything else, but they're too scattered and not in-depth enough to be compelling as a group. More irritating than anything else, however, is the total lack of proofreading. The book is full of errors, and someone needs to sit the author down and teach him how to use an apostrophe as soon as humanly possible, because reading about the main character's "two boy's" is frankly painful.
