This is a classic horror that I missed out on the first time around because I never knew it was a book. I remember seeing the movie when I was a kid or bits of it anyway but I didn't realize it was adapted from a book. A model with a dark past moves into a great apartment with affordable rent. All is well until she meets her neighbors! Some of the language is a bit dated but the story itself stands up to the test of time. I would rate it 4 of 5 stars. I received a complimentary copy for review. The whole time I was reading this book, I was just waiting for things to start making sense; that "aha!" moment if you will, and I felt I was never fully able to understand why or how certain things were happening and how they tied into the story. I will say, however, that parts of it creeped me out very much, so I enjoyed that. Allison's fear towards the end when she hid in her closet was palpable; I really felt her desperation, and the descriptions of it were impressive. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieThe Sentinel (book 1)
Jeffrey Konvitz's New York Times-bestselling horror novel about a young woman descending into demonic madness who discovers it's not simply in her mind Aspiring model Allison Parker finally moves into her dream apartment: a brownstone on Manhattan's Upper West Side. But her perfect home quickly turns hellish. The building is filled with a cast of sinister tenants, including a reclusive blind priest, who seems to watch her day and night through an upstairs window. Eventually, Allison starts hearing strange noises from the empty apartment above hers. Before long, she uncovers the building's demonic secret and is plunged into a nightmare of sinful misdeeds and boundless evil. In the tradition of Rosemary's Baby, this gripping novel was adapted into a feature film starring Ava Gardner, Cristina Raines, and Chris Sarandon. The Sentinel is classic horror at its best.

It is your standard evil, hidden beast in the attic fare. Others have reviewed that it didn't age well which could very well be true, but since I read it in its time, I don't have that taint. ( )
