About this listen

It's a home invasion from beyond the grave in this novel of unrelenting terror from the Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Pressure, Dweller, and Wolf Hunt.

It doesn't seem like the perfect house, but screw it, it's good enough to rent for a year. Unfortunately for Boyd, Adeline, and their two young daughters, it's immediately clear they chose the wrong place.

The nightmare begins with violent coughs and headaches. Food starts to rot almost as soon as they take it inside. A pet tarantula goes missing. Some family members begin to exhibit creepy behavior.

Then the ghosts arrive, and all hell breaks loose....

I love bizarre and twisted ghost stories and this one was a real treat.

A twisted trio are hired to kill a woman, by persons unknown, it all starts going wrong for them from there ....

A man ( Boyd) gets a promotion and needs a new home in a differerent town, he picked the wrong house, the sick house.

Boyd's family suffer some nasty conseqences of moving into the wrong home and then just when they think it might all work out, everything takes a turn for the hellish. This book is mostly concerned with those hellish consequences, be warned, it's not nice but it IS fun.

I particularly liked the ending.

Narration was superb and I totally recommend this book to all lovers of horrible ghost stories, horror stories in general and weird twisted stories in particular.

I was lucky enough to recieve a free review copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased review, which is what you have here, I really did enjoy this book very much.

Not the most exciting listen, I think that the haunted house type of scenario has perhaps been used once too often. But it could just be me.

Not bad, not great

Not like any haunted house novel I've read before. Clever, unique, and one thing I've noticed about strand from reading a previous book of his, he doesn't skimp on detail. Same is true here. Very violent, with no details left out. Very clever ending, finished it in one sitting. I enjoyed the past, more than the present to this book. Good plot, a lot of suspense, mystery, and as already stated, violence. As far as the gore goes, I'd almost put this on a par with Halloween. I'd say the same I said then. If you like violent horror, along with a clever plot, this book is for you.

Gory in the extreme, brilliant
