The story is set in the quaint little village of Bakewell in the Derbyshire Dales. It follows the recent move of David and Danielle Mitchell. A couple that were looking for a change from the city life. What was to follow they would have never imagined. Once they had moved to the new house, they had big plans of renovating the new place into a modern stylish country home. The couple had walked into the village and found a bargain in a local shop, a VR set which could be used to help design their new home. But once they brought the VR set home, they found strange happenings and visions going on. They realized they were not alone in this house and the move became a negative experience for the couple. They never imagined this would have happened to them as they didn’t believe in ghosts and ghouls. Once they sought out the help from a local medium they were shocked to find the most logical explanation isn’t always the correct one.
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!
This is the first book I read from this autor and let me tell you that I loved it! Such a good book with great characters that keeps you obsessed with every page since the first one. The ending of this book.. come on! I just didn´t expect it! Can´t wait for read other book from this great writer! Amazing job! definitely a must read!. 5/5 A fantastic story that has it all! Best horror book for Halloween present. Would definitely recommend What's better is that it is just enough book to capture an evening from beginning to end Honestly, I am looking forward to (and hoping for) a seque
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.
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.
