A "Book of Milk" rather than a Book of Blood, this one is strictly for the 13-and-under crew. Pretty uninspired and inoffensive, Barker seems to have written this on a day off. I couldn't help but think of Peter Straubs "Shadowland" while reading this, which, while in the same vein, is much more superior and intriguing, not to say scary than this little thing of a book.
