Is it a hoax, or is it something unspeakably real? In this short story about evil games and spiraling secrets, whatever bargain you strike, there’s a price to be paid.

Mason Brandt dropped out of seminary and found a job at a spiritual center offering guidance to troubled teens. Mason was one himself years ago - a suspect in a young girl’s disappearance. When a female student is found murdered, Mason is dogged by suspicion and flees. He hopes Merle House will offer him sanctuary once again.

Circling the Drain is part 3 of House of Crows, a four-part serial about friends with a shared history of darkness. They’ve spent their lives running, but they can no longer hide from the past. Each story can be read or listened to in a single haunted sitting.

Book 3 of the House of Crows Amazon Original is absolutely thrilling!

It feels we’ve getting to the climax of this story and all roads lead to Merle House.

Samantha has set in motion a reunion or at least that’s what she intents, in order to give closure to whatever happened to that girl so long ago.

Matthew seems to have something inside that he refuses to share and Mason is in deep trouble.

Will the house have the answer to this riddle? Who is the Dark Man? And mostly: What happened that night?

I can’t wait for Boon 4!

This gets better and better!

enjoying it. Reminds me a bit of Stephen King, story of a group of kids that get mixed up with a hungry ghost/demon, good v evil, situated in a small old northern town.Americana haunted by the past, the dark woods. well done. a late winter's or night's listen, atmospheric.

old fashioned scary story

I was enjoying the multiple POVs but now it seems like there are too many. It's getting a little confusing and hard to keep them all separate. I do like the dark man and it is getting a bit spooky-er. I am definitely going to be moving right on to the last one.

Maybe too many POVs?

Still enjoying it. I’m zooming right to the last book. Excited for them all to return to the house. Eerie and mysterious. Love the writing style.

Can’t wait for last book

Ok - I’m not entirely sure where we are going with these stories. Each one adds to the one before. Introducing new characters and situations. I hope I get all the answers with the last book! They have all been well narrated and interesting. I would suggest reading or listening back to back! On to the last…hope it all comes together!

On to the last - hoping for a good wrap up.
