Helpful Score: 3

A creepy, austere Victorian-era chiller that combines the best aspects of mystery writing with the creative spookiness of the classic psychological ghost story. "The Seance" is a period-exact novel from writer John Harwood that explores the themes of finding ones place in the world and the bonds of family, all set against a very surreal and spooky backdrop of mystery, murder, and mysticism. If you like movies like "The Others" and "The Innocents", or have read and enjoyed stories such as "The Turn of the Screw", "Sherlock Holmes", "The Haunting of Hill House", and others besides, you will fall under the mystical spell of "The Seance" guaranteed.
