Around Halloween my wife & I decided to read this one to each other. Kind of sweet and bizarre, I suppose, but it mad for several fun weeks of after-dinner reading. I had read this once before in college, 20+ years ago. I remembered two things strongly:
The Columbo-like detective in the book
That the book (unlike the movie) made it seem less like a possession and more likely insanity
Well, this reading changed my mind on #2 (Columbo-like detective still stands). Anyway, we had a fun time with this one.
