The Lamp from the Warlock's Tomb by John Bellairs
4.0
Anthony Monday and his librarian friend Miss Eels once again find themselves dealing with the supernatural in this, the third of their adventures. When Miss Eels acquires a strange old lamp, mysterious (and deadly!) events force them to investigate the lamp's history. As a result, they uncover occult conspiracies, ghostly happenings, and all the usual creepiness one can expect from a John Bellairs novel.
Bellairs is really due for rediscovery. His novels are creepy, well-written, and full of intriguing (and unexpected) plot twists. While this novel doesn't rank among my favorites, I did find it a fun read, and it's always fun to spend time in the weird worlds that Bellairs created.
