Because it was based on a tv show that already had problems, and because it tried to mimic the writing styles of other authors (Steven King and du Maurier come to mind) and, because it's racist, fatphobic (hey like S.King is, following tradition!) and all around gratuitous while trying to emulate both books like Hell House and Rebecca. I'd much prefer it if it actually was the feminist prequel it's pretending to be, because it was actually fun to read! I have absolutely no strong feelings about this book in any direction. It just...is. I like the Rose Red TV mini series, but these characters didn't feel like the ones in the show, nor did they feel like fleshed-out people at all. I wasn't thrilled with the audio narration, nor did I find the diary format believable or compelling. Nothing was scary or creepy or disturbing, especially because we know we're being told it in a diary entry after the fact. The weird sexual dynamic at the end seemed bizarrely out of place. I would recommend any fans of the show just fill in the blanks of the Rimbauer family with their own ideas. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Quand une maison devient vivante... Au début du 20e siècle, une jeune dame et son mari se font construire une très grande maison à Seattle... En quarante ans, les personnes meurent en disparaissant entre ses murs. Décor idéal pour Stephen King que ce roman d'épouvante écrit par Ridley Pearson.

This book was written as a movie tie-in, intended to serve as a prequel and Blair Witch style marketing hype. It refers to supplemental materials on a now-defunct website for the fake university that the fake author supposedly taught at. I suppose this is one of the downsides to the multimedia book idea that I enjoyed with Night Film. The book is forever, but the online supplementals are transient and render the book itself forever incomplete.
On a side note: I see that I originally rated this book 4 stars when I read it eleven years ago. Funny how our tastes and judgement change over time.
