About this listen
The Bruton Inn, located outside of the small Maine city of Hollis Oaks, is home to something sinister. An icy presence has made its way from a dark past to the present day. Cold spots, shadows, and whispers permeate the halls, and guests are beginning to change. For two front desk employees, the dark rumors are about to come to light. They call upon an urban shaman and his connection with the spirit world to dig up the truth. Will they be able to stand against this malevolent force? Or will they come face to face with something beyond their most frightful dreams. Welcome to the Bruton Inn. The Ice Queen has arrived.

Lee, an urban shaman, gets tasked with tracking down a vinyl copy of the Dark Light EP by the ’80s hard rock band, Bad Obsession. The extremely rare record is said to be cursed. Nearly every copy of the album burned in a fire at Tower Records in Los Angeles the day of its release. With only one remaining member of the band alive and living in a home for those battling Alzheimer’s, Lee must return to Maine, a place where he’s battled evil forces before, and see if he can retrieve the album.

The blizzard begins pummeling the Midwest on Christmas Eve, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Todd Curry doesn't need another reason to disappoint his son, so he joins three other people in renting the last four-wheel drive available and they set out into the blinding snow. Only two hours into the treacherous trip west, Todd swerves to avoid a man in the middle of the highway. The stranger claims his daughter is lost somewhere out in the snow.

For nearly two decades, Jamie Warren has been running from darkness. He's haunted by a traumatic childhood and the guilt at having disappeared from his disabled brother's life. But then a series of unusual events reunites him with his estranged brother and their childhood friends, and none of them can deny the sense of fate that has seemingly drawn them back together. Nor can they deny the memories of that summer, so long ago—the strange magic taught to them by an even stranger man, and the terrible act that has followed them all into adulthood.

But now, a new investigation has been launched, bringing four strangers to Belasco House in search of the ultimate secrets of life and death. A wealthy publisher, brooding over his impending death, has paid a physicist and two mediums to establish the facts of life after death once and for all.

A Solid Haunted Halls story
A creepy and bloody haunted hotel story that is perfect for an October read (listen). Hey, it doesn’t have to be October, you can read or listen to it anytime.
I have listened to several Joe Hempel audiobooks and have enjoyed them all. I like his voice and cadence and he always paces the stories well.
This one was a little hard to follow for me because of the alternating timelines and POV’s. It didn’t help that I listened to it in my car and would occasionally get interrupted with work calls and appointments, so I’m sure that had something to do with it
.
The story itself was good and violent and had several genuinely creepy moments. Recommended for those who like a less subtle and more violent ghost story. A Solid 3.5+ Stars!

I may never stay at a hotel again!
If you could sum up The Haunted Halls in three words, what would they be?
Succubus Terrorizes Hotel
Who was your favorite character and why?
It's tough deciding between Jeff or Rhiannon. I thought both were going to be minor characters, but they really blossomed into characters I liked. I'm still undecided about Lee. I still think deep down he's an asshole.
What about Joe Hempel’s performance did you like?
Joe is a master is this craft. His acting skills turned this book into an amazing listening experience.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
She wants revenge, and is willing to embrace hell to get it
Any additional comments?
I was unsure if I would like this book. I'm not a huge horror fan, but it took no time to get pulled in. The writing is great, and the performance by Mr. Hempel was fantastic. This audio book was gifted to me by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

Evil poltergeists at their worst
Demented murder becomes
Evil spirit. Haunted hotel, urban shaman, terrified teens lots and lots of paranormal Love interests. Good ghost story. Too graphic for kids with some of the scenes (sex scenes). The narrator whose works I have always enjoyed didn't disappoint. Captured the depth of the different characters and conveys the feeling of terror the scenes are meant to have inspired.

Not a stale ghost story!
The Haunted Halls reads like a B rated horror movie, and I so sincerely do not mean that it a bad way; I get a kick out of cheesy and very graphic horror movies, and this book truly provided all the same entertainment value! It’s nice a spooky, gory, and there are plenty of enjoyable adult themes. The characters in the book are so normal and relatable that they make the book feel extra creepy. I am very impressed with the freshness of this ghost story, and I recommend it to other lovers of horror stories! This is the first book I’ve listened to read by Joe Hempel, and he does a really great job. His diction is clear, the pace is perfect, and he narrates effortlessly.

Excellent ghost story
I enjoyed this book very much. It was full of fast paced action and excellently written characters. It was well paced and the narration was absolutely excellent. I have never said this before but I believe that I would have enjoyed this book even more if it were a movie. I received this book at no cost for a honest review

Demonic spirits turn the Bruton Inn into a veritable slaughter house. Bodies are thrown through the windows, guests are raped and murdered, and heads are severed. There is plenty of action in this fast paced tale.
The narration, performed by Joe Hempel, was pretty good.

Meh
The story felt very rushed. There were to many characters with very little character building. The jumps between past and present were jarring and confusing. Half way through I was still wondering what the point was.
Joe Hempel as always is awesome. Love his narration.

Creepy, bloody, and entertaining
This was a creepy book. I love stories about haunted hotels, so I was excited to read this. Be warned, though, that is is not just an average ghost story. This is definitely a horror story, and there is a lot of mature content (sex, gore, violence, blood, etc.). The story moves along at a steady, but fast pace. The characters are interesting, and the story is well-written and entertaining.
I listened to the Audible audio version of this book narrated by Joe Hempel. He always does a good job with his narrations, keeping the audience engaged with his great pacing and different character voices. I appreciate that his female characters do not have high, screechy voices, but sound natural and effortless.
