About this listen

Nine rooms. Nine tests. One chance to get out alive. No one makes it to the end of The No-End House.

It's the ultimate haunted house challenge. A crumbling stone mansion nestled in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, it may be the best-kept secret in Europe—a little-known attraction featuring nine escape rooms to explore, nine puzzles to solve, and a large cash prize for anyone who makes it to the end. There's just one catch: no one makes it to the end of The No-End House . . .

When Joe Hadfield hears about the house from a pair of backpackers, he's intrigued but not interested. He's trying to escape a nightmare of his own: the trauma of witnessing his wife's grisly death. Traveling the world to ease his pain and grief, he meets a beautiful stranger named Helen who convinces him to try The No-End challenge together. Joe reluctantly agrees. But as soon as they enter its walls, meet its mysterious host—and sign an ominous contract—Joe begins to understand the seductive power of The No-End House . . .

It knows his darkest secrets. It feeds his greatest fears. It makes him do things he would never do. And there is no end to what he will do . . . to make it out alive.

Based on the creepypasta of the same name, No End House follows Joe and his newly met companion Helen as they travel through the titular house, facing room after room of challenges in the hopes of finding their way out.
If you know the creepypasta, know that it’s better than this book. If you don’t know the creepypasta, listen to that instead as it does more in 45 minutes than this does in more than eight times that.
The plot is reasonable. The structure of room after room of seemingly meaningless events tries to coalesce by the end, although the ending feels like an attempt to force the twist from the original story where it doesn’t really fit. The characters are pretty unlikeable though, and their personalities are a bit all over the place. Joe was boring and Helen was annoying, and this wasn’t helped by a pretty lacklustre performance. No one seemed to have any energy or passion behind their voice or responses to events.
Of the three of Jeremy Bates’ books I’ve listened to, this is only slightly better than the dire Sleep Experiment, but far and away from the fairly decent Mosquito Man. I don’t think I’ll be trying any subsequent ones.

Another weak interpretation of a popular creepypasta
