About this listen

The Perry family's new house is perfect - except for the weird behavior of the neighbors, and that odd smell coming from a dark corner in the basement. Pity no one warned the family about the house. Now it's too late. Because the darkness at the bottom of the basement stairs is rising.

The MULTIPLE sex scenes made me uncomfortable.

The first one made me cringe and I thought “Surely I don’t have to sit through another one of those vulgar descriptions.” Needless to say there was plenty more and it ALMOST ruined it for me... otherwise it was creepy at many points and wasn’t half bad.

Better than expected

The ol’ haunted house but has been pretty hashed out - let’s be real - so, I didn’t have any high expectations I picked this title mostly just to pass the time. Imagine my surprise when this was fairly original, suspenseful and engaging.
It’s still a haunted house story so don’t expect the wheel to be reinvented here, but it’s well thought out and written and genuinely scary.

Starts Good Then Fizzles Out

The longer the book goes on, the more drawn out it becomes. Also... the characters and their actions don’t feel believable at all. You’re left thinking “no one actually acts like this in real life” - which detracts from the story. Also a lot of long backstory over halfway into the book that does nothing but fill space. Performance was spot on however.

good story

I didn't expect this story to be as good as it was. The narrator did a good job also, I would recommend this one

Different

Certainly a new approach to the haunted house tale... well written and well developed characters, but the story itself was a bit lacking. Perhaps it was how long it took to get to the ‘twist’. The link to the twist felt a bit forced and contrived. Not a bad story, but not a great one either.

A great page turner

Would you listen to The Haunted again? Why?

Yes. I listen to my book while driving and sometimes miss small sections.

What did you like best about this story?

The "boo" that was waiting when I least expected it.

What about Dan Butler’s performance did you like?

His ability to help me distinguish what character was speaking by the tone he gave and kept for each one.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Are you afraid of the dark?

Any additional comments?

I love Bentley Little. He is right up there with Stephen King and Dean Koontz! I'm looking forward to "reading" more!

very creepy

I recommend this book if you like haunted house stories. At times I would stay awake just to find out what happens next.
