This is classic horror at its best. I finally got around to reading it, because in researching horror trivia, it kept coming up as a must read. I'm very glad I did! This was one of those books that was difficult to stop reading...chapter breaks or not. I found myself staying awake far later than I should to carry on with it. A group of older men has a club called the Chowder Society. They get together in their finery and tell each other ghost stories. They are driven to tell these stories, but they share a terrible secret from their youth. It seems the past is coming to haunt them and people in their tiny New England town begin dropping like flies. There were some wonderfully spooky bits and some downright terrifying. I highly recommend this one to anyone who loves a good horror story, especially ghostly. It's dated, but still holds up really well.
