A centuries old curse lusting for blood...Weyrmouth, a small town in Southern England, is replete with quirky, well-meaning residents. Everyone is cheerful and friendly, but the quaint seashore province is not what it seems.A deep and dark magic has captured the townsfolk of Weyrmouth in its clutches since the medieval times. Under stormy skies, a menacing cathedral looms over them, its history unknown ... and everyone who has tried to disentangle its mysteries has come face to face with death.In spite of this, Weyrmouth Museum is up and running, acting as the local repository of history and all things spooky. It finds a new employee in wayward American Erin Cale, who winds up in town looking for a job, in desperate need of a fresh start. But it doesn't take long before Erin feels the pull of something deeply unsettling.Apparitions of ghastly hooded children appear out of thin air, warning of impending doom. Unexplained deaths begin to occur with ever-mounting frequency. And yet, Erin can't bring herself to leave.Her curiosity gets the best of her as Erin begins to unravel the ancient and nefarious secret buried within the heart of the cathedral. She feels the undeniable pull of something tying her to the structure and its history, and is desperate to unlock the mystery.All the while, the stones of the landmark cathedral seem to be breathing with a life of its own...

Weyrmouth is not the kind of horror book I would normally seek out, as I prefer horror books that take place in a smaller locale within a shorter time period, but the story did a pretty good job of drawing me in and keeping me reading. Because I started reading horror novels when I was fairly young (Carrie when I was 12 was the first), finding a good scare in a book can be difficult, but these little ghost kids with their hooded robes and sharp little bony fingers were pretty eerie. The characters (except for Holy Joe) weren't terribly complex, the narrative was a little scattered, and the ending was abrupt. All-in-all, it wasn't a bad book, but it also wasn't terribly memorable. ( )
