One book I can never get tired of reading is Anne Rice's The Witching Hour. To me, it's her finest work...sweeping from the Middle Ages to the present, following a family with strange powers throughout its history, and it has an absolutely KICKING ending that leaves you breathless.

It is truly a ghost story for the ages...NOT to be read on a dark and stormy night.

I'll look for it. I didn't really like her vampire series, but I loved Servant of the Bones.

Even tho I had to be talked into buying it and let it sit on the shelf til i was desperate, lol. It turned out to be one of my favorites.

I'll read it. It sounds like something I would enjoy. My husband and I are reading Jeff Head's books right now and they are very good.

Is it a stand-alone or part of a series?

If you like ghost stories, check out Donn Byrne's Destiny Bay. It's nominally a novel of country life in Ireland, but the supernatural keeps creeping into the story in so natural a way that you don't realize what you're thinking until it suddenly dawns on you with a shudder.
