Published in 1980, Maynard's House is creepy, winter blizzard of a Maine ghost story. Or is it Vietnam PTSD? "Summer of 42" author Harold Raucher takes a rural detour into chilling psychological horror. Instead of a family moving into a big haunted house, The protagonist (Austin) roughs it, in a rustic old cabin, at the backend of Beyond Maine. All by his lonesome, terror slowly ratchets up, subsides and then spikes sideways. If you're drawn to horror like "Burnt Offerings", " The House Next Door, or Jack London's short story "To Build a Fire" then hustle and rustle you up copy Raucher's lone horror novel.
