Run!
I usually can suspend my disbelief in horror books, movies etc. but The September House was so ridiculous and out of anyone's realm of belief it was impossible. Margaret, Hal and their daughter Katherine buy their dream house that is haunted by various pranksters who "appear" to Margaret but no-one else. Margaret's husband Hal eventually disappears and Katherine comes home to investigate. If the book wasn't crazy enough already, now September coincides with Katherine's visit and the bizarre escalates. There are bleeding walls, exorcisms, hundreds of birds flying into windows, a basement with an unnamed killer to name a few. If one wanted to read a book of pure horror with no redeeming premise I suppose this would be ok- as a book club pick it would be a very poor choice. Basically there is nothing to discuss.
