About this audiobook

Julie and Claire Perry and their two children, Megan and James, have made the move to a bigger, nicer home in their city’s historic district. But something isn’t right.

The neighbors seem reluctant to visit. Claire can’t shake the feeling that someone is watching her. Megan receives increasingly menacing and obscene texts. And James is having terrible dreams. No wonder, considering what he’s seen in the corner of the basement, staring at him and shuffling closer ever so slowly.

Pity no one warned the family about the house. Now it’s too late. Because the darkness at the bottom of the stairs is rising ...

Very good. A really good classic haunted house story. Unease turns into fear, turns into all-encompassing despair as the happy family members get threatened, creeped out, until finally the house is affecting everyone who comes near it. Disturbing without being disgusting or crass. The pacing is excellent, and the story grabs you from the beginning. I saw one reviewer compare it to a Stephen King book, and though I'd agree that the writing style is similar, a King book would be WAY slower paced at the beginning. Here, in the first hour creepy stuff is already happening. I like King a lot, but sometimes he takes his sweet time with a little too much sub-character exposition. None of that here. This book is laser-focused and doesn't dawdle. Highly recommended.
