The Spite House by Johnny Compton

Continuing my plan to read a new book starting each Tuesday, this was recommended to me by Amazon.  I have a love hate relationship with Amazon.  I love how fast they send me books, I hate how much I spend there.

Anyway, this was sold to me as a haunted house/horror story.  It was. Very much so.

However, it was WAY WAY WAY too much like The Haunting of Hill House (the novel, the movie, the movie remake, and the Netflix series) with a dash of The/A Haunting in Connecticut (the TV episode and the movie--fun fact, my late Golden Savannah was from the real neighborhood where that supposedly took place).  Family in crisis meets haunted house in need of caretaker.    

A very quick read (it's quite a short book) that held my interest.  I guess I was hoping there would be something that didn't sound recycled, but alas.  If you've never read/watched the aforementioned titles, you will absolutely love it.  If you have though, it will not be as scary a read.
