Well written and the family history was interesting, but I hated the main premise of the story and the ghost.

There are aspects of this book that aged like milk. Rape, Mysogony, incest and all the black characters seemed to be servants of some kind. 

From a horror perspective, it's extremely disturbing. However, it is very long and drawn out and at least 1/3 of not half of this book could have been cut.
