[Miss Olivia]

Here's the overview from the front of the book:

The Creeds. An ideal family. Physician father, beautiful wife, charming little daughter, adorable infant son. Close, loving, wonderfully alive. When they found the old house and enchanting grounds in rural Maine, it seemed to good to be true. It was. For the truth itself was bloodchilling--something more horrifying than death itself, and hideously more powerful...


If you have a family, this book is harder to read. I can honestly say, though, that there are passages that made every hair on my body stand on end, and my skin raise into goosebumps. It involves raising the dead, and evil spirits, and things that go bump in the night. This is King's scariest book by far, in my opinion. And I've read every book of his that was written before 1998 or so. That's around the time I read Insomnia and hated it to the point where I stopped bothering.
