Rating: Summary: What a Great Creep show! Review: This book reminds me of the movie "Creepshow" of a few years back, where several of Stephen King's short stories were tied together with a running theme. In this case, the tying theme is a severely haunted house that serves as a meeting place for three would-be horror writers, hosted by three very ominous and unsettling dark hooded figures.There are five different stories presented herein, and each of them is horrific, bloody, and spell-binding. Each is VERY interesting in its own way, and each is different in its thrust. This book is not simply a gore factory, although it is not for the squeamish. The descriptions are fantastic, the characters instantly identifiable, and the tension imminently grabbing. Mr. Vinson writes with the real world in mind, as he repeatedly immerses you in the frightening world of a varied cast of characters. To those who would complain that its too gory, I would say that even Stephen King said that when given a choice, he'd go for the gore every time. Mr. Vinson's style is quite reminiscent of King. I have no hesitation recommending this book
