No, I can understand that - it's an odd novel really.
Herbert was well known for the gore and sex in his horror novels, but Haunted was a real change - a proper ghost story and very reined in compared to his usual style. It wasn't as uniquely 'Herbert' as the rest and he was finding his way with a different style of story.
It's a better movie than book, to be honest - Aidan Quinn and a young Kate Beckinsale. Well worth checking out if you ever get the opportunity.
