### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Still an awesome read after forty years
  

*by C***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018*

“What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?” “I won’t tell you that, but I’ll tell you the worst thing that ever happened to me—the most dreadful thing . . .”I first read this book when it was published in 1979. I loved it then and, now almost 40 years later, I love it just as much.If you are looking for blood and guts horror (although there is some of that) you might not appreciate this book. This book builds its layers of horror slowly and it is one creepy tale.It is a ghost story but it also is a character study, a horror story, and a marvel of storytelling.It starts slowly but each piece that is added to the story is integral to the overall tale.I am so glad I read this book again. I felt like I was discovering it all over again.

    Oldie (somewhat) but goodie...
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017*

I first read this novel over 30 years ago when I was in high school as well as saw the movie that came in the early 80s. I recently watched the movie again and decided to read the book again as well (since the movie was so heavily chopped up and modified, as most movie adaptions are). Though the novel is a bit dated (we have gone through quite the technological revolution since it was written in the late 70s), it still scared me like it did 30 years ago when I first read it. The novel is indeed a good old fashioned ghost story (though evil supernatural entity is probably more accurate). Our main characters, mostly older men in their golden years, along with the son of one of the men, having to battle an almost ancient evil (maybe not ancient, but definitely old) that they previously had encountered in various manifestations through the years. This includes the one that is highlighted in the movie (much of the other manifestations were left out of the movie), an attractive and eccentric young woman they fell in love with in their youth, but accidentally "killed" in a fit of passion, and then covered up. The "woman" also has an evil sidekick. The reader is drawn in to the "ghost stories" that the men, calling themselves the Chowder Society, weave over glasses of scotch and bourbon. It's a chilling story that is highly recommended.

    are my two favorite horror novels
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2017*

Ghost Story, along with Shadow-Land, are my two favorite horror novels.Ghost story is especially chilling, not just in the main narrative that progresses, but in the secondary narratives that support the unfolding mythology. Evil spirits and monstrous changelings lurk between the pages, and make for a thrilling read.They adapted this novel into a movie... but the film is a terrible interpretation, altering the dynamic between the characters and the creature- mutating it into a kind of supernatural revenge story. Ghost Story is far superior to that cinematic rubbish, and the antagonists far more menacing. If you love the feeling of something watching you in the dark, the shiver up and down your spine, and the sense of heavy foreboding, Ghost Story will probably suit your fancy.
