A batshit crazy, hot, wet ride into hell! John Everson has created one of my top ten books of all time. The House By The Cemetery is a cauldron filled with devilry and witchery - all my favorite things. With his latest novel, Everson twists seductive obsession with shadowy occult magic, bringing it all to a fever pitch.
