Publisher's summary

The seven were just looking for a paranormal experience, but what they found was far worse than anything they could have ever imagined....

The Hopewell Sanatorium has plenty of history for a group of local actors to explore on their night off the stage. Once a nationally recognized tuberculosis hospital and then an asylum for the mentally unstable, Old Hopewell has long been a source of urban legends, and its spooky, abandoned hallways are perfect for the theatre group to get some Halloween thrills.

But what the seven friends don’t know is that they’ve just encroached on someone else’s territory. And he is ready for some Halloween fun of his own....

A high quality horror fest!

Late on Halloween night, a groups of friends in search of scares and a good time make their way to an abandoned sanatorium. Among the rats and forgotten equipment, they find a special host who’s been anxiously awaiting their arrival.

Jones’ storytelling is tense and threatening. As the seven friends explore the abandoned building and gradually uncover its secrets, the reader is constantly teased by an impending horror, suspecting what may come next, only to be shocked by a twist far more horrifying than imagined. Hell Night in Hopewell is the perfect companion for the Halloween season, or great for anyone just looking for a brilliant horror book.

In addition to a brilliant story, the narrator brings every suspenseful moment to life. Superbly read and every character has their own, distinct voice.

Hopewell Asylum

Seven theater friends decide to spend Halloween in the local abandoned Hopewell Asylum. They just want a few spooky thrills but instead find themselves dealing with horrors beyond belief.

There were several things that make this a less than 5 star read for me. First of all, the friends are supposed to be twenty-ish, but act more like teenagers. They are supposedly good friends, but before even entering the asylum, harsh words are thrown around and a fist fight erupts. This really didn't add anything to the story and made their "closeness" questionable.

Then, when they are in the asylum, they come across a 10 year old boy who claims that he is going to spend the night in the building with his friend. The (supposed) adults are much more frightened than Billy and blindly follow him on a tour of the place, complete with a basement. As all horror movie fans know, you NEVER go into the basement! Their actions reminded me a bit of a B-horror movie and a bit of a karate flick. Instead of these 7 adults ganging up to take on one scrawny young boy, they instead try to attack individually (karate flick move!). Then, there is the juvenile crude jokes from some of the characters and the continuous cursing. I'm no prude, but it was just a bit over the top for me.

There were numerous gruesome and descriptive injuries and death with plenty of blood and gore. And, in true slasher movie style, you have a final girl who saves the day (sorta).

The narrator did a good job with the different voices and great pacing. I just didn't enjoy this one as much as I would have liked and would only recommend if you are a true buff of B-movies with characters that have obviously never watched one of those movies and act accordingly.

Loved it

Perfect listen for the Halloween season
Creepy setting,slightly campy and lots of gore is why I had a blast with this one

Dean does a great job narrating, and really captures the tone of the book
Another home run from fright night audio 5stars
