This is a wonderful summer read at the shore. It is faintly related to the Movie, The Spirits Are Willing, a 1960’s flick. This is more engrossing and is full of coastal characters and the out-of-towners who make the unlucky mistake of renting the local haunted house for the summer. It is out of print, but see if the inter library loan has a copy for you to read on your iPad. 1 Sten Maulsby16 4

This is a light and fun read. It's perhaps both more dated and less serious than some of his other books. The reason I to come back and read him every few years is that there's a theme that keeps coming up in his books (the four I've read, anyway): there's always someone, some times a minor character, sometimes major ones, who is stuck in their place in life, and manages to walk away and start all over.

This was a very entertaining ghost story set in an old haunted house. It fun to watch the various characters get put through the paces by the three ghosts, only one of which is pure evil. Jocelyn656

I bought this book at a library sale because it said "Benchley" on the cover. It was kind of fun to read but nothing special. Probably nobody would even publish it today. It's about a family that rents a haunted house for the summer. I d the hard-drinking, androcentric 1960s setting. (The book was published in '65.) Don't ask me why, since there's nothing about the hard-drinking androcentric life that I particularly value.fiction Control13
