Sarah Crowe left Atlanta, and the remnants of a tumultuous relationship, to live alone in an old house in rural Rhode Island. Within its walls she discovers an unfinished manuscript written by the house's former tenant - a parapsychologist obsessed with the ancient oak growing on a desolate corner of the property. And as the gnarled tree takes root in her imagination, Sarah risks her health and her sanity to unearth a revelation planted centuries ago.

Great weird fiction; mediocre narration

The credits list three voice actors, one for the author, one for the editor who provides a preface, and one for the professor who wrote the notebook. I am convinced that Audible listed the actors in order of appearance, not importance, and that is Katherine Kellgren who is the voice of the doomed writer. Ms Kellgren did a fine job as Mina Harker in the Dracula audiobook I heard in October. Here, she is even better as a tough, foul-mouthed, gravel-voiced Southern gal who is going into the abyss kicking and cursing. An excellent performance.
Katherine Kellgren was the novelist?

I was surprised how chilling this book was aty times - I am a mature man with a wide variety of tastes - but Caitlin R. Kiernan took me on a journey of facination, suspense and yes . . horror.
But the horror was not "in your face" . . it was well scripted around a general story of a woman who rents a remote house ... simple . .yes ? . . well no - the background is well proportioned and the build up to the moments to real terror are irresistable.
A good read - but will make you sleep with the lights on once or twice.
A true "classic" horror story.

Many listeners will find this a little too slow, but once you get used to the pace, it flows so well you can't wait to find out what comes next. Quite interesting from both a horror and a historical perspective.
A great book if you are a patient listener, someone who likes movies like the Witch...even better if you're a writer listening to how a master story teller spins a yarn.

The story itself unfortunately.
And the very heavy doses of info-dumps and citations from boring periodicals or reference books - I want to believe that maybe this is a "House Of Leaves" kind of meta-story thing and just maybe half of it is lost in narration, or perhaps there's some much much MUCH deeper meaning that my feeble little mind just couldn't pick up because the writer was writing for other writers, who would be able to pick up on all the subtle literary references between mythology, Virginia Woolf, Yates, Jung - there was just so much going on that whatever kind of supernatural scary tale that might've been buried in there - it just never got a chance to breathe.
And there's no ending. Literally.
And the hard core erotica threw me for a loop; I'd already recommended the book to a few people because of the brilliant way the author explained her take on ghostly apparitions, and her writing, it was a really good book, but as soon as the lube came out, yeesh I had to do some serious back-pedaling.
So - we've got an author who is just amazing at writing themes and using her words in the best of ways, with a narrator who just NAILS a torn soul or two, but a story that is trying to be about seven things at once, and succeeds at MAYBE three of them, tops.
Great writing, Fantastic narration, Absent Story
