When David Caine, a celebrated skeptic of the supernatural, is invited by an old friend to spend a month in “the most haunted house in Virginia,” he believes the case will be like any other. But the Alexander House is different.
Built by a 1700s land baron to contain the madness and depravity of his eldest son, the house is plagued by shadows of the past and the lingering taint of bloodshed. David is haunted, as well. For 22 years ago, he turned away the woman he loved, and she took her life in sorrow.
And David suspects she’s followed him to the Alexander House.

Tough to Follow at Times, but Good Story

Wow. It's hard to say much more than this about this book. The writing is top shelf, the dialogue spot on, and the pacing is excellent. It's a bit of a slow burn, but it's never slow and we don't have to wait until 3/4s of the way through the book to encounter the entities. We get some encounters early on and it leaves us with lots of questions and a tingle in our spine.
Janz's characters are extremely well-drawn, and the story is developed so well that, when coupled with all I said before, I really can't critique this book at all. It's just fantastic. This is horror at its finest and as it should be. If you miss this one, please, depart from me, and may posterity forget you were ever my countrymen!
You'll regret it. READ THIS! 5/5 stars.
Narrator does a fine job.
The finest ghost story ever...

Best horror title I have read

There's a decent yarn here: a slew of old mysteries, unresolved emotional pasts, villains that truly get under your skin, interesting side characters with their own arcs, some memorable lines of dialogue.
Ghosts, both good and bad, mythological creatures, cults, orgies, murderers, buried secrets, it all sounds like a wild ride, and sometimes it works well, but the main character...jeez.
He's not very skeptical for someone who's supposedly a "world famous" skeptic. Doesn't act very rationally, and never knows things he should have or can put 2 and 2 together about some awfully important stuff.
It leaves you feeling like he's just a stand in for the audience and the author randomly reveals or withholds info from him as the plot dictates, and not like an actual character with his own agency and personality.
Ending was too abrupt and unexplained as well.
Fair warning, other reviewers aren't exaggerating the graphic nature of either the violence or the sex. You have been warned if you're looking to avoid such.
promising story marred by idiot main character

I am not even going to attempt to summarize this one. There is all kinds of crazy, creepy going on here. Possibly even too much.
I’m giving this one 3+ Stars. I enjoyed it. It was written very well, as I expected, but was a bit scattered the last ¼ or so (for me) and I got a bit confused with the goings-on.
As always, I look forward to see what Jonathan comes up with next. I will read whatever he puts out there. Definitely on my must-read author list.
All kind of creepy crazy in this one
