I wish you could find the book - it's even better! I guess I like those evil houses...
Here's one from an eBay store - $6 for a hardback isn't bad (plus $4 for shipping). Someone else wants $60 for theirs!!!

That's the same picture I have on my old paperback copy.

I have to admit that I haven't read it in a very long time, but I did really like it a lot. It was pretty creepy. Here's a description:
The Rolfes -- Ben, wife Marian, son David, and Aunt Elizabeth -- are a pleasant family from New York seeking to escape from the doldrums of a summer in their Queens apartment. They find a beautiful old country mansion on Long Island -- restful, secluded, with pool and private beach -- perfect, for the right people. But their "perfect" summer home hides terrors beyond their wildest imaginings. During that long summer the house becomes a nightmare from which there seems to be no escape.
Unfortunately, it appears to have been out of print for some time.
I watched one of my favorite monster movies earlier today
If anyone cares to read it I did a short review of it Here.
The last movie I saw in theatres was 500 Days of Summer, which was beyond excellent. I loved it, my boyfriend loved it more. Tonight it's to see Julie and Julia, for I am in the mood for a chick flick. As for what else is on my watching/to be watched list, I've got the first season of Mad Men coming on Netflix 'cause I can't even count how many people have recommended it to me, planning to re-watch Foyle's War, and the second season of Ashes to Ashes (another BBC show and stunning "sequel" to Life on Mars). Lots on the queue! 
I've been plowing through Battlestar Galactica (missed it first-run on the Sci-Fi Channel), and currently am next in line to get Battlestar Galactica - Season 4.5. I'm literally on pins and needles, and I hear the big twist at the end of the finale is brilliant.
Meanwhile, I'm also watching Torchwood - Season 2. Really awesome characters, and who can't love Captain Jack? 
It's only the 4th of the month, and I think I've already exhausted my bad movie quotient...
Push Think X-Men made on Twilight's budget. Neat concept, and it could have been much more, but wasn't. Also, blatantly sets up for a sequel that probably won't come unless the DVD has been selling like wildfire.
Dragonball: Evolution Ohhhhhh, the pain. There's 90 minutes of my life and five I.Q. points that I will never get back. And what are good actors like Chow Yun-Fat, Emmy Rossum, and James Marsters doing slumming in a P.O.S. film like this?
