What you cannot see can hurt you.

We are introduced to a Massachusetts backwater community where families are inbred and may have produced wizards. A strange, very ugly young man is trying to obtain a rare unabridged Latin version of the Necronomicon for what appears to be a nefarious project. Something smells off about his place. I never saw the movie. However, I was surprised by how well this book, by the inventor of modern horror, is written. Originally published in the summer of 1926, it is a timeless tale about being your brother's keeper.
