This superb and atmospheric novel, first published in 1974 to widespread critical acclaim, is a harrowing story of revenge, alienation, genealogy, history, and the occult. Set in an isolated apartment complex targeted for destruction in a gloomy section of Brooklyn, it is one of the finest horror novels ever written, drenched with superbly drawn characters, symbolism and fear right up to its shocking finale. from Goodreads
