...until a cursed VR headset awakens the malevolent spirit lurking in the shadows... When a loving young couple move from the city to the United Kingdom countryside for a better life, they would have never thought that the normal-looking house could have ghosts and demons concealed within. But, when they start hearing mysterious noises at night and seeing glimpses of figures in the upstairs windows, Danielle starts investigating why the previous owners left, and she discovers a long, dark history associated with their house. The Virtual Entity is a spine-tingling YA Horror novella , sure to keep haunted house and ghost story fans up at night reading, with all the lights on for safety. ★★★★★
“It has been a long time since I’ve had the pleasure of reading such a delightfully chilling horror novel. The Virtual Entity does not fall into the trap of using copious clichés and cheap scares. Rather, it entices the reader with an intensifying feeling of dread as the story goes on. This is the perfect book to read on a cold, rainy day with a hot cup of tea and the lights off.” - Reader Review

New town spirits
David and Danielle move to a new town not expecting evil spirits as they don't believe in the paranormal.
They purchase a VR headset that holds a very strong evil spirit. With help they free it from their house.
Loved the twist at the end.

I always thought that horror books cannot scare you as much as horror movies can. I was wrong! And this book is what proves me wrong. In fact it teaches me that books can also outdo movies when it comes to frighten, shock or producing the jump-scare inside you.
The most amazing thing about this book is the ease with which it stirs up your imagination to create the scene inside you and then catch you off-guard and scare the hell out of you. It is different from other horror stories in the sense that it has unique characters and most importantly which appear at a time when you least expect anything scary to come (and when I say that it's unexpected that is with reference to my expectations being formed after reading and watching so many other horror stories).
To be very honest, I thought that all horror stories had gone on to be essentially the same thing but this book forces me to reconsider my judgement about the horror fiction market. This book does that really well!
One more thing that I loved about this book was how the writer brilliantly shows you the story, instead of telling you things. In other words, the writer simply does not bring in anything unnecessary to the story, it's all to the point and each and every word simply carries serious meaning and weightage. This is also why this is a short read which saves the reader time and effort and still covers the entire story. Awesome!
More power to Richard Street!

Virtual Insanity
With a lot of books of this kind out there it’s very hard to get anything new from this genre, however this particular story was approached from a very modern perspective and I found it really refreshing. Looking forward to more from this author.

Classic story with a modern twist
The writer needs work on composition and to slow down to build suspense and atmosphere. A story in the making.

Terrible writing
I guess having a ghost in your house really makes you hungry because the author noted that the couple had food like ten times in this book . it became very repetitive and the writing was written like a middle schooler writing a story for his class. I found myself looking at how many pages were left a lot because I was so bored with it .

This is the most pretentious writing I've seen since Dragons: Lexicon Triumvirate.
"This civil parish of dwarf population by no means lacking of its own ethereal landscape and senescent crowd, even though mesmerising in the autumn shade, could only boast of its homogenous activities and small-minded townsfolk. It was in the center of this town, however, that a young couple freshly acclimated to the pleasant travails of love, decided to purchase a lonesome terraced house."
I seriously thought by "civil parish of dwarf population" he was talking about freaking Khazad-dum. IT'S CALLED A VILLAGE, THERE IS A PERFECTLY GOOD WORD FOR THAT ALREADY.
