The Elementals by Michael McDowellMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Elementals by Michael McDowell is more than just a haunted house book. It's almost like a soap opera with very dysfunctional families. Even though it is the middle of winter in New York, I could feel the humid, swampy, summer heat of the Gulf from the evocative writing. I swear I was ready to break out in a sweat. The characters are unique, and I couldn't quite decide if I liked them. There are weird family traditions and weird family disappearances that really make you wonder what is going on. I didn't find it as scary as it is hyped to be, but it was still pretty spooky.
