This, along with Shirley Jackson's THE HAUNTING, is one of the best haunted house novels ever written. THe brilliance of it lies in its rigourous intelligence and psychological power which makes the battle between good and evil so powerful. Richard Matheson makes sure that the treatment of the investigators is deeply humane so that the reader completely sympathises and cares about them, making the deaths of some of them all the more painful. In my opinion what makes MAtheson such a great writer in this genre is his humanity. He never introduces gore or shock just for tricks but because what interests him is our need to hold onto and struggle for our humanity even in the face of massive evil and horror. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.93.21.102 (talk • contribs) .
