Maynard's House

This book was a little too slow for me - so much time was wasted over-describing people from small-town Maine and making strange remarks about Native Americans (I lost count of how many weird “Indian” references the protagonist makes for no reason. Way more of the book is devoted to the main character living in the cabin (nearly an entire chapter about his outhouse!) and his creepy obsession with a local teenage girl than any kind of horror. When the horror starts it comes out swinging, and some of the psychological stuff near the end is decent, but it wasn't enough to turn my opinion around.
