This story freaked me out!
Short of four hours, this Audible Original, was packed with well-defined characters and a terrifying house.
We all know about a certain home in Amityville and Still House reminded me of that one.
Dave Johnson purchased a coastal home thinking he was going to make money out of it. His wife, Lisa was not happy with the investment.
A year later, Dave might have to agree with her when his dream of an income evaporates. The tenants stopped paying the rent and when the property real state agent calls him to let him know that the tenants have disappeared, he is obviously upset. There is nothing left but to check the damage himself and Lisa will have to come with him.
Still House kept me hooked to every word. It had wonderful narrators who easily brought the terror to the front and center.
Cliffhanger: No
4/5 Fangs

Well folks this short audiobook scared the heck out of me!!! I'm not a usual reader of supernatural or ghostly books but this one had me believing in things that I know couldn't be true, or can they?
Dave and Lisa purchase a small cottage on an acre of coastal land. Dave wants to use it as a place to get away from the noise of the city. Lisa isn't very keen on the place, it looks like it needs a lot of work and money to fix it up. She thinks the area around the river reeks and she doesn't like the extreme isolation.
Their real estate agent Carol, keeps on selling and selling this to Dave who finally is convinced. They purchase the property and hope to make money on it by renting it out to tenants. Sure enough they soon have a couple who rent it for about 12 months. Until they seem to have vanished, they stopped paying the rent and no one has heard from them.
Dave and Carol's marriage hasn't been that great lately so they decide to go to the property to investigate what has happened and make a long weekend out of it. What they find at the cottage is a complete mystery, the couple seem to have disappeared leaving all of their things including their car behind. Where could they have gone and what drove them away??? Or were they taken away???
There is a lot of "chill and thrill" in this short audiobook and I wasn't expecting it. I made the mistake of reading it before I went to bed and it kept me awake!!
If you are very clever you will perhaps figure out what is going on, I didn't !! The narration was great and the quick pacing kept me glued to my phone for a few hours.
After you listen to this one you will almost certainly be heading for the nearest Home Depot or hardware store to purchase something, but you won't guess now what that could be!!
I can highly recommend this great Audible original, I thought it was a great listen!!

Writing short stories is truly an art. I must confess I’m somewhat judgmental when it comes to stories where ghosts are mentioned. It says more about me than the book, really. But this little mystery hit the mark! In no time, I felt I knew the main characters. Dave had a quirky humor reflected in his thought processes and dialogues. I liked his weird style. The wife was also interesting, and I could see why they chose one another. The suspense was built up masterfully, which is impressive when you have so little time to do so.
Bravo!

Horror is not usually my jam; but this was a free Audible Audio, and I needed a painting companion, so this was a nice, short listen for me. An unhappily married Australian couple spend a weekend in a small town to figure out what happened to their nowhere-to-be-found tenants, and what they find is troubling. The story goes deep down the creepy path from there.
The "pros" to this audiobook - one reason I'm not a huge horror fan is because my realist, pragmatic side has a hard time with the supernatural, ghosts and goblins, exorcisms, etc., but this one is eerily plausible, so it was easier for me to embrace. I also thought the narrators were great. The chapters switched back and forth between Dave and Lisa's voices, and both narrators helped to make a mediocre storyline much more interesting.
The "cons" - everything else. Awful, detestable characters abound in this short book. By the end, I thought they all deserved whatever macabre death they all potentially had coming to them. It was seriously like one of those B-list horror movies where the characters make one dumb, illogical decision after another. I also wasn't a fan of the overly crude descriptions. No one really wants to read about bleeding, tampons, ruined pants, etc. It was just unnecessary. The ending is also somewhat of an eye roll to me, but I guess no one reads horror for a happy ending, so it is likely fitting.
Overall, it was a quick listen that entertained me for over three hours, so that is worth something. I love Christian White's books, but I'll pass on any of his future horror stories.

Taut and creepy, I really enjoyed this horror novella by husband and wife duo, Christian White and Summer DeRoche.
When Brighton couple Dave and Lisa go looking for an investment property, the house on the Balarang waterways near Dunmore in coastal Victoria ticks all the boxes for Dave, but Lisa's not as keen. So when the estate agent discloses to Dave that the previous owner died inside the house, he decides to keep that information to himself.
Fast forward about a year. The tenants, who were previously very reliable, have stopped paying the rent and seem to have abandoned the property with all of their belongings still there. Even their car! Dave and Lisa make the 4-hour car journey to Dunmore to meet with the property manager and take a look at the house before proceeding to next steps in the eviction process. They've been warned that their visit to house won't be pleasant, but the state it's been left in is still a shock to the couple. Then when their car won't start, and it looks like they'll have to spend the night, Dave & Lisa have to face some hometruths about who they are as landlords, as husband and wife, and humans in general.
Approaching the end, I kept thinking to myself - they can't do that! But they did! Gutsy move. I've previously heard Christian White interviewed, giving credit to his wife for genius plot ideas, and if this is the sort of thing they can do together, I hope it continues.

Free Audible, short, creepy and a lot for a little!
Despicable characters are so much easier to loathe, and I wished a raft of them dead...but that is the point, isn't it? White's writing has developed significantly from this novella, but as a free listen, I couldn't fault the narration.
Nothing to lose if it is in your library already.

Still House is an Australian horror/suspense novella which was free with my Audible subscription. We started it in the car, but my husband lost interest half way through so I finished it on my own later, because while I wasn’t particularly enjoying it, I wanted to know how it turned out. It was OK, quite dark and spooky if you like that sort of thing, but I’m not a big fan of this genre.
Dave & Lisa are a well off middle-aged couple from Melbourne whose marriage is faltering. When their real estate agent calls them to say that the young couple who have been renting their rural investment property in a tourist town have disappeared, they head up there for the weekend to investigate. Arriving at the isolated property, the squabbling pair are initially annoyed with both the situation and each other, but then find themselves trapped there on a wet winter’s night, hearing strange noises and experiencing frightening phenomena. What malignant force haunts this old house and can they and their marriage survive a night of terror?
This was well written - there are two authors and two narrators, which worked well from the three characters’ POVs - I find single actors often struggle with voicing the opposite sex convincingly. For a four hour story, there was too much extraneous detail, (we really didn’t need to hear about Lisa getting her period and changing her tampon) and I found the plot dragged a bit in spite of the suspense. All three characters are so awful that I didn’t care what happened to them. I liked the ending but can see why other reviewers did not - it rather depends on whether you like a supernatural explanation for the mystery or not.
Warning for cat lovers, early on it is revealed that the tenants’ pet died in the house, and while it isn’t described, there are repeated and somewhat gratuitous references to this throughout, which anyone who has lost a cat may find distressing.

A couple buy a house, that's isolated. They rent it out but their tenants stop paying the rent and disappear suddenly. They go to take a look at the house and get trapped there and that's the story.
The starting was pretty good and kept me hooked, it was a quick read too. But the ending was not satisfying at all. Things could have ended differently. And the reason for all the deaths was not convincing. And there are things left unexplained like what happens to the couple’s son at the end.
Overall, it's an interesting read although the ending could have been better. It is recommended to all mystery and thriller fans.

This short, spooky story freaked me out so much I couldn’t finish reading it during Halloween. What can I say? I am a yellow-bellied, lily-livered coward (by the way—those are insults often hurled by Yosemite Sam). In truth, my ability to consume domestic horror texts only improved about two years ago, but my cowardice is lifelong. I loved Shirley Jackson’s We’ve Always Lived in the Castle (the opening paragraph is genius!!), but when it comes to haunted houses, in general, I’m not willing to go in.
All that being said: this clever little book has a great structure for telling a ghostie-tale. It starts with a real estate agent needing to sell a house in a secluded part of the Outback. The history of what happened in the house—well, not every abode is vacated because the occupants move away.
I’m glad I finished it. A fellow GR reader from Australia recommended this author to me, and her writing style is totally engaging. Those of you who like horror might view this story as tepid, but it is probably my limit with ghosts/haunted houses.
File Under: “Get Out!” Says the Ghost. “Ok,” Says I.

This audible original freebie was a quick listen that took me out of my comfort zone. White is an auto ‘buy’ read for me - this is my second freebie written by him, hence the quotation marks around buy - so I didn’t read the blurb before starting to listen.
Dave and Lisa bought a cottage on an acre in a coastal town with dreams of making a stack of cash from holiday renters. Instead, they found themselves, twelve months later, arriving at the house their tenants have mysteriously vanished from after failing to pay rent for the last three months.
This one is scary. And spooky. And a bit frightening. Not my usual style at all. I’m glad I read it. White writes really well-developed characters and I’m going to assume de Roche took his writing to the scary place. It totally sucked me in. But did I mention that it’s a bit anxiety-inducing? It didn’t help that I listened to the last 40 minutes of it driving alone on dark country roads on the night of the full moon. Ha ha ha. The only thing I didn’t really like were the alternating narrators. There didn’t seem to be any logical reason for it as it wasn’t alternating perspectives, they just read alternating chapters. I found it disconcerting and the volume was inconsistent. I still recommend it though... if you like a fright.

well written in tone that varied from chapter to chapter (point of view) which was very effective. Much better than expected from the start. Enjoyed the slow pace and chapter finishes leaving you hanging. Sad ending for me but that is ok.

This novella is so creepy that I was looking over my shoulder. While at the grocery store! A real winner, perfectly narrated.
April 15, 2021
An OK read but certainly but no stunner.
Interesting characters and conceptually the story is good and if you have a creative imagination the story line is even vaguely plausible.
No spoilers but worthy of only 2 stars from me.

Dave Johnson purchases a secluded house in a postcard-perfect coastal town despite his wife Lisa’s protest. What should have given them income as an investment property has turned into a bit of a nightmare. With fires, and other issues damping the market, their property manager convinced them to accept a long-term rental. Only the tenants stopped paying. When their manager finally gets an eviction notice, she discovers the tenants are gone…only it’s odd. She recommends Dave & Lisa come see for themselves.
The tale that unfolds was creeptastic as Dave & Lisa find themselves trapped at the rental when their car battery dies. The events that transpire will have you gripping your blanket as you listen. Plenty of twists and spooky happens give way to a terrifying and realistic tale.
Luke Arnold & Sibylla Budd narrate and brought both Dave and Lisa to life while enhancing the atmospheric tale and frantic emotions.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this book.
The story starts with a prologue. Carol the real estate agent selling a “shit box” of a house. I was hooked immediately. The prose is very casual and humorous, even though the story is far from either. Though it is incredibly far removed in plot, genre, setting and length the writing reminded me a lot of The Martian. Humour cutting through tension.
Then we cut to year later. Prospective buyers Dave and Lisa have bought the “shit box,” rented it out, tried to evict the tenants for rent in arrears and inspected the property to find that the renters have vanished.
There are two main veins of terror knitting their way through this story.
1: What happened to the tenants of David and Lisa’s investment property.
2: What happened in their marriage for two people to grow so desperately far apart.
The whole thing is foreboding, tense and at times heart breaking.
A great little horror; written and performed beautifully.

I like that the start to each chapter gives you relief after the end of the previous chapter scared the shit out of you. A great co-write from Christian and Summer! Loved the two narrators, there’s no mistaking whose point of view you’re listening to.

That was so creepy. I'm not much of a horror fan but this story really crept up on me. it went places I just did not expect but later, still thinking about it, it all made sense.
I'm left wondering what Christian White might have in store next.

This is not my usual genre, to say the least, but I found it very gripping. It was well written and the alternating narrators were very effective. Some of the Australian idioms, references and terms may confound American readers/listeners (eg HSC means High School Certificate, "merk" is slang for Mercedes) and descriptions of people looking like apparently well-known Australians will be mystifying, but I think it is still possible to enjoy. (I am an American in Australia, still learning all the many language differences.) I'm glad Audible is including Australian offerings these days, they are definitely worth checking out!

This was probably the most unpleasant ghost horror story I’ve ever heard. By unpleasant I mean excessive details that could and should be skipped. Do we really need to hear about tampon changing?
A realtor keeps selling a house people keep dying in. An unlikable couple buys it for rental income and it winds up costing them when the tenants stop paying rent. A rash decision leads to consequences. Narrators were good given the material. I’ve heard much better. Awful and unpleasant. In the hands of a better author, this could’ve been a great scary story.

If you're looking for something short and creepy, then this might be your book. Please note, though, that I am a chicken.
This is one of those stories where you're not sure if there are ghosts or something else taking place. People are missing and people are dead, and people are sick all from the same house. What's happening? If you want a quick thrill, then this might be for you!
