About this listen

Hell House is the scariest haunted house novel ever written. It looms over the rest the way the mountains loom over the foothills.” — Stephen King

From the author of
I Am Legend comes Hell House, the basis for the supernatural horror film starring Pamela Franklin, Roddy McDowall, Clive Revill.

For over twenty years, Belasco House has stood empty. Regarded as the Mount Everest of haunted houses, its shadowed walls have witnessed scenes of unimaginable horror and depravity. All previous attempts to probe its mysteries have ended in murder, suicide, or insanity. But now, a new investigation has been launched, bringing four strangers to Belasco House in search of the ultimate secrets of life and death. A wealthy publisher, brooding over his impending death, has paid a physicist and two mediums to establish the facts of life after death once and for all. For one night, they will investigate the Belasco House and learn exactly why the townsfolk refer to it as the Hell House.

Hell House, which inspired the 1973 film The Legend of Hell House, is Matheson’s most frightening and shocking book and an acknowledged classic of the genre.

There are few spooky moments in this story and the general idea was a good one. I did however find myself getting bored towards the end and I guess that is because it is overlong. It is however worth staying with it until the final scene.

Old fashioned haunted house story

Great narration of a seriously depraved haunted house classic.... a timeless example of excellent horror genre writing.

loved it.

I like Matheson's ways of writing, and Ray Porter is also a very good reader. This book, for me, is not as well written as "I am Legend", but it is exciting and kept my attention right through to the end.

It is perhaps because I have seen the movie (quite a long time ago) and because I am a big fan of Edgar Allan Poe that I bought this with quite a bit of hesitation. However I am glad I did and would recommend it to others.

Good mixture of horror, sci fi and suspense.

The story a little heavy on horror tropes, but extremely entertaining!
Whe it first gets going, it doesn't let up until the end.

Great reading of a thrilling horror ride
