Yeah, Lurking Horror was superb. God, I miss Infocom.
Zork Nemesis is NOT anything like a haunted house. The game is a stark drama about love, hate and vengeance. There is no fear of the supernatural, or things-that-go-bump-in-the-night. The blood-thirstiness and inhumanity exhibited by the characters will make your skin crawl, but I wouldn't classify it as "spooky." It's probably not what Stephenson is looking for, but it's the best adventure game I've ever played.
