As Halloween approaches, I'll make a strong recommendation for this novel. The subsequent film had a collection of fine actors but it didn't come close to conveying the chills of the book.
Check out the book's reviews at Goodreads.
Confession: I read books like that when I was young. Nowadays I wouldn't go near one. but if you like scary stories, this will probably be of interest.

This is a book screaming to be remade as a better movie. I think it could be pulled off.
Kurt,
You are correct. It was a huge disappointment to see how superficially the screenplay addressed the issue of evil. I recall reading that the film director had not read the book.
That could explain a lot.
