A classic of children's literature. Reminded me of a kids Stephen King or of an RL Stine with adult vocabulary. PG 13 work with high verbiage and lots of references to other classical works. Best for well read people. The plot itself was very nice, I liked the characters, I liked the atmosphere. The mystery of it all and the creepy ideas. It does suffer some from the culture of its age with the shallow racism and sexism. That teacher in the story got done dirty.
