In the Shadow of Spindrift House by Mira Grant
2.0
Mira Grant/Seanan Mcquire is one of my favorite authors, and I usually really like her SFF and horror novellas a lot.
This iteration was less successful for me than the others that I've read by her. I didn't like the Scooby Doo crew element, and I felt it was a little too tongue in cheek. The atmosphere of the creepy house was excellent, but I felt like the creep factor and darker second half of the book didn't quite fit with the tone of the first half.
Overall, not my favorite, but I recommend if you're a novella fiend like me.
