review 1: I’ve found that his writing style is a case of you either love it or you hate it. Personally, I really enjoy his books.With this one there are some predictable moments (ending included) but overall I believe it is well worth a read if you like his writing. As always with Ransom’s books you’re thrown headfirst into a story which, if able to grip you, is unwilling to let you lose until you have finished. A lot of it leaves you questioning until things are uncovered, but that is exactly what you want. If this was painted out in black and white from the start it would not have been as good, instead taking you through the process of working things out as the characters do.
review 2: THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR by Christopher Ransom (one of my favourite horror authors
... more) blends a number of horror elements to create a deeply suspenseful and scary tale that is more readable by virtue of its interestng cast of characters than plot. Starting with a very engaging opening, THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR suffers from lofty expectations semi fulfilled. A stock standard middle class family, struggling to make ends meet has strange and mysterious neighbours who turn out to be anything but normal. Throughout the novel I kept thinking either aliens or vampires - I wont spoil which. Despite its predictability, I enjoyed THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR. less

Marginally better than The Birthing House but still won't be reading anymore of his books.
