Now this is a haunted house story. In the genre of horror the haunted house is
an essential plot device and some succeed and some fail. Here is one of the best. Like most haunted house stories, a group of
scientists or debunkers enter a famous haunted house with an evil history to
disprove the supernatural. Here Dr.
Lionel Barrett attempts to explain the supernatural with a new scientific
theory that he believes will change the game.
He brings with him his wife, Edith and two mediums, Benjamin and
Florence. This is the second time Benjamin will stay in this famous Hell House
where the last time he escaped as the only survivor in a previous study. As you’d expect events do not go as planned
and even as it become clear that Hell House is going to destroy them, Barrett’s
obsessive personality endangers them all.
There’s a lot to love about this book.
The characters stand out and the tension is consistently scary
throughout. Grade: A
