THE ABANDONED by Douglas Clegg

This book was so wierd I had to add it to my reviews. Not because it's a "keeper" per se, but because it was just so... wierd.

It's about a town that has a big manor/mansion house that everyone's afraid of. A wild teen party gets out of hand one night, and the kids there find a little boy hanging in the cemetary, his insides, well, they're no longer inside. That kid's death unleashes the house to all the evil it's been caging. The evil rampages through the town killing people in the most gruesome ways. This was true horror. I found myself rereading parts to make certain I hadn't imagined what Clegg imagined. Turns out I hadn't. They were just as gory the second and third time I read them.
