I read this book back in 1972, when I was 11 years old. I was fascinated by its storyline, and loved the fact that it took place during Halloween, my favorite holiday. I was lucky enough to have saved the book, and read it a few years ago. I still enjoyed it; strange characters, and a weird vibe throughout the story. I will most likely read it again, even though I already know Marion's fate. 50 years later, and it still fascinates me!
