Boingy! Boingy!
The Right Hand of Evil by John Saul
Finished this one a couple of days ago. Definitely not Saul's best work. Characterization was largely flat, uninspired, even cliched. Plot was a bit disjointed, as if pieces of the narrative were edited out. Overall, a disappointment.
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
Finished this yesterday. Very well written book. Jackson has a wonderful economy with words. The narrative says a great deal while at the same time playing its cards very close to its chest. There is as much to the story in what Jackson does not say as in what she does say. A classic ghost story.
