Summary

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?

Nearly DNF’d - glad I did

I nearly didn’t finish this. It seemed to drag about half way through but the ending was worth it.

Meandering story and a bit obvious

Thame auyhour clearly wants to keep you guessing but the ending twist was predictable quite early on. Still it was quite atmospheric and easy to listen to.

Wow!

Definitely worth a listen, unique and intriguing tale with superb ending. Keeps you guessing and questioning the plot the whole way through.

I wasn't expecting the ending! wow!

I love horror and thriller stories, my favourites are haunted house stories. This one is a bit different from the usual haunted house tales. It's not about the generic unsuspecting family moving into a house and slowly coming to realise that its haunted. This is about a failing writer, a sceptic, staying for the best part of 2 weeks in a derelict mansion, with the aim of writing a book on ghosts. His best friend, a fervent believer in the supernatural, comes along and they both have experiences in the house that can't be explained. I wasn't expecting the ending and I won't spoil it for readers, except to say that I hope someone makes this into a film one day. 5 stars from me!

Stick it out

Mostly very good and it’s a true gothic horror in that it’s the building sense of unease that gets you but then it erupts. There’s a couple of points where it does drag but trust me the ending is worth it.

A well written, chilling story

If you like Haunting of Hill House you’ll like this. The ending seemed a little abrupt but good story well narrated.

Boring

Mildly entertaining at first, but not enough substance to the story to keep me hooked. I was tempted several times to turn it off but opted to stick it out due to other reviews advising to see it out to the end, but unfortunately the end was predictable and not worth the hours of monotonous and bland storyline.
It's a no from me on this one.
