About this listen

Felix Allsey is a travel writer with a keen eye for the paranormal, and he's carved out a unique, if only slightly lucrative, niche for himself in nonfiction; he writes travelogues of the country's most haunted places, after haunting them himself.

When he convinces the owner of the infamous Rotterdam Mansion to let him stay on the premises for two weeks, he believes he's finally found the location that will bring him a best seller. As with his other gigs, he sets rules for himself: no leaving the house for any reason, refrain from outside contact, and sleep during the day.

When Thomas Ruth, Felix's oldest friend and fellow horror film obsessive, joins him on the project, the two dance around a recent and unspeakably painful rough patch in their friendship, but eventually fall into their old rhythms of dark humor and movie trivia. That's when things start going wrong: screams from upstairs, figures in the thresholds, and more than what should be in any basement. Felix realizes the book he's writing, and his very state of mind, is tilting from nonfiction into all-out horror, and the shocking climax answers a question that's been staring these men in the face all along: In Rotter House, who's haunting who?

It's hard to add anything to the "haunted house" genre -- it's a vein of fiction that has been mined pretty well to exhaustion. A writer has to do very well to compete with the likes of MR James and Shirley Jackson, not to mention Stephen King. Surprisingly, perhaps, this book kind-of succeeds. It has all the usual haunted house tropes that we all know and love (or groan along with, anyway), but it also has a strong element of psychological drama that is rarely present in this kind of story. I can't say any more without giving things away but, even though I'd started to guess that the ghosts weren't quite what they appeared by about half-way through the book, the ending was still something of a surprise.

The narration of this story brought it to life. Excellently read and a twist I thought was obvious was only a small part of the story. Brilliant

Narration was outstanding

Like the narrator more than the story. A little predictable but kept my interest to the end.

Enjoyable Listen

I read the reviews and found myself disappointed, the narrator actually bored me, very flat. It was ok, I finished it but best description is ‘meh’

Meh
