About this listen

Something has always lived in Winthrop House.

After his book becomes a best seller, novelist Jack Ripley moves into a house on the edge of Cutler Harbor with his wife and two daughters. Nearly a century old, Winthrop House is newly-restored and boasts a gorgeous oceanfront view.

But everything is not what it seems.

Though picturesque, Jack learns that the house has been shunned for decades by the locals, owing to a number of mysterious disappearances and inexplicable deaths on the grounds.

The Ripleys begin to grapple with the property's vile reputation, learning more about its sordid history and experiencing strange things within its walls. What was once a dream home quickly becomes a nightmare for the family as they encounter the terrifying presence that has existed there since times immemorial.

A House By The Sea is a full-length novel of supernatural horror and suspense by Ambrose Ibsen.

I enjoy this story. It was an updated and interested version of a haunted house story and had many chilling scenes which kept me up. I look forward to the second part.

Great twist on a haunted house

A House by the Sea by Ambrose Ibsen is a classic haunted house story.
It's a slow-paced story with an eerie atmosphere.
The ending, although predictable, was quite entertaining.
I enjoyed the writing style and intend to read more of his books.
The narration by James Foster was top-notch.

Classic Haunted House!

I was completely entranced with in this story. This is a fabulous ghost story, and to think it's not finished. Jack's children are in danger after he moves them into a haunted house. Jack, the non-believer, won't listen to the warnings people are giving him about the house being haunted, even after strange things start to happen. His wife and children want to leave, but it is the house he has always dreamed of, and there's a reason the asking price was so cheap; the money he paid was only a down-payment. The real cost of buying the house is his children. Will Jack open his eyes in time to save them? Listen to the story to find out. Fabulous narrator too.

OMG I have to read book 2!
