Creepy, I should have read this when it was darker out. If a dog won't go inside an old house, that's all the convincing I need. Howard was dumb, but Annie was a lost cause.

Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Simply an ok way to while away an hour.

Actually a review of Tony Walker's 'The Struwwelpeter' as I couldn't find that story.

A veteran hiking in the German moors takes shelter from a storm in an abandoned house. Enter the Struwwelpter who makes puppets of men. By turns terrifying and thought-provoking. Listen to the tale on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZyVh...

There are some really ghost story elements throughout the storyline. Unfortunately it fell far short of creeping me out which is what I was looking for. I really wanted it to but it didn't quite make it. If the story was expanded a bit I think it would be extremely creepy.

One of the fastest books I have ever read - about half an hour

Definitely sends chills

The Haunting: The House on the Lake is a definite page turner. Book makes one feel like they are in the story. Gave me chills, especially at the end.

Too short

Did anyone proofread this story? There were several mistakes with verb tenses. Some sentences did not make sense. I thought the story was hurried.

Short and scary tale of a haunting.

Fun little old-school throwback haunted house story. Would make a good movie.

A creepy and well written short story.

Very short story about a man and his family moving into an old house that is haunted.
The dog and the maids at first are the ones freaking out. Then the spirit is revealed. It has to do with the wife's past.
I guess I don't know what really scares me anymore. This book did not get under my skin at all.

Twins

I feel this is a book for teens. This book is good for a short story, Not really scary. It is up to the reader to decide whether they like it or not. Not really my style of book.

The Haunting

I loved it, however I wish it were a longer story. It was truly a scary story and it really kept my heart racing. I hope there are more from this author. great story!

Was ok...

It was very short, and I would have liked more to the ending....it was too quick. It could have been much better.

This was not as scary as I expected. It was an OK read but not something I would recommend.
