Summary
An authorized prequel to the classic ghost story Hell House
In 1927 the infamous millionaire occultist Emeric Belasco disappeared without a trace, leaving behind dozens of dead bodies in the rambling, isolated mansion known as Hell House. In 1931 a team of parapsychologists entered Hell House in order to solve the riddle of Belasco's fate, only to meet with horror, insanity and death.
Now, 9 years later, in 1940, another team of psychic and scientific experts, including the 15 year-old "Ghost Boy" Benjamin Franklin Fischer - the most gifted physical medium in modern history - return to investigate the most haunted house in the world, only to find Hell House eagerly awaiting its newest guests.

Great story, rushed performance
I really enjoyed Nancy A. Collins’ prequel to Richard Matheson’s classic HELL HOUSE, but I really hope this eventually gets a proper audiobook production with a real voice actor one day. The reading of the tale was paced entirely wrongly, maintaining a mile-a-minute speed that robbed the story of much of its suspense. It deserves a more measured, nuanced reading to really capture the atmosphere and horror of Emeric Belasco’s hateful home.
Collins does great work with this tale, filling in the narrative spaces that Matheson chose to leave to be filled by our own imaginations, only Collins does the remarkable job of making it worse than we could have imagined. In this tale, Hell House really earns its name.
A truly chilling haunted house novella.

Not quite as good as the original tale...
... But not bad either!
It tells the story of Ben and his first vist to Hell House aged 15 (the original story by Richard Matheson called "Hell House" - also available fron audible and very good!).
Nice to listen to because its just a short story and the narrator was quite good. Filled in a couple of gaps from the original book too, which I quite liked.
I listened to the original and then this and the two went together very well!
ALTHOUGH - it also works as a stand alone story!

Didn't expect much but was very pleasantly surprised.
I think you need to read Hell House first for this to make sense and have a context. That said, it was quite well written, enjoyable and contributed to my rereading of the original. A little rushed at the end but worth the small price. Nice little book for fans of Hell House.
