Summary

At Butler House, a series of grisly murders over a century have led many to believe it's haunted. To one scientist, it's the perfect place for an experiment in fear. Eight people, each chosen because they lived through a terrifying experience, are offered a million dollars to spend one night at Butler House. They can take whatever they want with them - religious items, survival gear, and weapons. All they need to do is last the night.

But there is something evil in this house. Something very evil...and very real. And when the dying starts, it comes with horrifying violence and brutal finality. There are much scarier things than ghosts. Things that will kill you slowly and delight in your screams. Things that won't let you get out alive.

Creepy, gory and unexpected

I really enjoyed Haunted House, it starts off delightfully creepy and proceeds into dark and gory.
Intimately, it highlights the strength and perseverance of the human spirit.
The narration suited the tale perfectly.
A solid horror

Mneh ...

Was ok, bit more science fiction with a bit of zombie Frankensteinish rather then what one would expect from a haunted house supernatural/ghostish horror. Seemed things we a bit confusing and didn't have a purpose. It was almost like the author had two stories in mind but merged them into one book.

Terrifying!!!

What did you like most about Haunted House?

Relentlessly scary and didn't let ya go for one minute!!!

What other book might you compare Haunted House to, and why?

Incomparable for all the right reasons!

What about Rob Shapiro’s performance did you like?

His voice is perfect for the story!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Several, when the individual characters REALISE they are survivors and can beat the evil that lies within the house!! When Sarah and Frank get together at the end. :)

Any additional comments?

A great horror would recommend to any of your customers interested in the horror genre.

Undecided

Nothing really happened until chapter sixteen or seventeen, after that the story went at a pace. The good guys were very likeable, and I couldn't wait to see who survived. The narrator Rob Shapiro was excellent, and really brought the characters to life, for this reason I will try another Jack Kilborn, but hope I don't have to wait until half way through the book for the action to start.

one word, pathetic

First of all let me get this out of the way and then I’ll review this book. Words tumble from mouth ergo they are spoken and therefore said so why oh why oh why do authors have to always state the obvious by stating that ‘he said’ and ‘she said’? this we already know. What we need to know is the manner in which dialogue is spoken. was it shouted? Screamed? Repeated and so on. that we hardly ever find out and this book is pretty much no exception to the laziness which afflicts authors the whole world over and more often than not it masquerades as ‘good writing’. Okay then rant over. Now for the review. I liked this book in the beginning. Plenty of fear and suspense but then close to the end it became lame and predictable so where once it might have been worth three stars it has only one because it is pathetic and lame. The naration is pretty good though except for the really bad English accent but i can live with that. Will I keep this book? Well i read it so what’s the point in returning it now I ask sorry I mean, I said.
