Review: THE PENNWOOD HAUNTING by S. K. Zurcher


5 Stars 
5 Stars

I gave this spooky novel 5 Stars, despite the occasional grammatical/spelling/punctuation error, because I really enjoyed it. The plot was tightly woven and engrossing, the author balanced a sizable cast of characters and delineated them well, carrying additional secondary plot lines unfolding through character evolution. The hauntings were seriously spooky and scary, and the juxtaposition of a seemingly benign spirit as against a powerful evil spirit worked well in keeping characters as well as reader wrong-footed throughout. I particularly enjoyed the ongoing character evolution of protagonist Shelley, who evolves in numerous respects.
