This book was disappointing. I hated all of the characters with the exception of one (and they were not the narrator, who I found rudderless a d weird). Gore and grossness that were just not supported by plot development. Unlike some reviewers I liked the prose - but then it was interupted by inane dialog a dn one dimensional characters.  The description of the house and the things contained inside it was beautifully done. I wanted more of that and less of the odd, unmotivated, murky characters.  Also unlike some reviewers I found the scary parts scary - but the climax of the action was chaotic and awful. Not scary, just horrible. And not in a good way.
