The Right Hand of Evil
The Right Hand of Evil | John Saul
4 posts | 13 read | 3 to read
When the Conways move into their ancestral home in Louisiana after the death of an estranged aunt, it is with the promise of a new beginning. But the house has a life of its own. Abandoned for the last forty years, surrounded by thick trees and a stifling sense of melancholy, the sprawling Victorian house seems to swallow up the sunlight. Deep within the cold cellar and etched into the very walls is a long, dark history of the Conway name--a grim bloodline poisoned by suicide, strange disappearances, voodoo rituals, and rumors of murder. But the family knows nothing of the soul-shattering secrets that snake through generations of their past. They do not know that terror awaits them. For with each generation of the Conways comes a hellish day of reckoning. . . .

I enjoy reading John Saul's older books

Curiouser_and_curiouser I loved them many years ago to. I was most afraid of the book Nathaniel. I actually gave that name to my first born as his middle name. I still have my little collection, they used scared the bejezuz out of me! I'm not game enough to read them now. 3y

I realized 3 hours in that I had already listened to this book on one of my many drives between Alabama and South Carolina. Despite that, it was an enjoyable read. The slow build of the evil in the story and the rotating POVs made it feel fleshed out and satisfying. This is a good, standard evil takes over a family story. I definitely felt invested even knowing what was going to happen.

This was mediocre at best. The storyline drew me in but the writing was terrible. I picked up a few of his books at a free book store so I‘ll be reading a few more. I hope they are better.

First time reading John Saul. Not overly impressed but I‘m only about 100 pages in. I‘m hoping it gets better...
