It’s the best kind of creepy slow burn, where the scares build slowly and you are buried under a blanket of constant dread. What if you didn’t move into a haunted house-what if you built one instead? The Invited is about a couple who decide to build their own house in the backwoods of Vermont, but the place they build has a history of its own. It isn’t a genre that cuts a wide swath, but those of us who love it like to sniff them out, and when we find a great one, we’re overjoyed. Some read like mysteries, while others are psychological portraits of haunted characters. Some books tip into straight horror, while others bury their scary happenings in innuendo and the feeling that something bad-really bad-is going to happen. The supernatural thriller, to me, has always been a small sliver of a genre, one that takes a careful hand.
