Why does the sequel of a good book sometimes bomb? I won’t say that this book is a disaster, but I will say that it is not as good as The Cottage.
The Cottage is full of twisting scenarios and surprises and it is filled with suspense. The Bungalow feels as if teeth are being pulled.
Yes, there are some slightly shaky moments, but the horror is just not there.
Both books have plenty of paranormal elements happening, but The Bungalow doesn’t grab you by the hair and punch you in the stomach.
The Bungalow rubs your head and pat you on the back.
Three stars. 💫💫💫

Good
First hand account of a family’s strange occurrences while living in a bungalow.
I liked this story because it was not far fetched and the author’s description of the events were conveyed as honest.
A must read for anyone who likes paranormal.

Good store
Well written, moves along. Good editing, good grammar, no typos-not one! This is fast paced story of one family who experienced a years long paranormal (or was it?) happening, then it stopped.

Jess Breitling’s The Bungalow is a short but genuinely eerie true story about a family experiencing unexplained events in their home near Los Angeles. It’s a quick, easy read, but it still manages to leave a lasting impression.
What I liked most is how simple and grounded the writing feels. The events aren’t overly dramatized, which actually makes them more unsettling. It reads like someone sharing real memories rather than trying to scare you—and that makes the creepy moments hit harder.
Knowing that the story is based on the author’s real experiences adds another layer entirely. It turns what could have been just a spooky story into something more thought-provoking. You’re left wondering how you would react in the same situation.
If you enjoy short paranormal reads that feel real and stick with you after you finish, The Bungalow is definitely worth checking out.

Kept me reading to the end!
A very interesting tale, especially because it is true. Entertaining as well as gripping, it was too interesting to put down!

Great Story!
This is an interesting snd enjoyable tale. I DO NOT believe in ghosts but, like the Author I do believe in Sstan snd his minions or degenerate demons.

Continued on from the cottage, even though it's meant to be a true story the ending was just a bit bleurgh to me. An ok short story though

Just as good as the first book! I’d say it’s even creepier because the author’s young child began speaking with the entity (or multiple entities).

Quick, fun little reads that seem quite truthful because they're not too over the top.
