Night Things

By: Michael Talbot

Narrated by: Eric Bryan Moore

Built by a madwoman during the Victorian era, Lake House is a 160-room mansion in the Adirondacks with stairways that lead nowhere, bizarre rooms designed to distort the senses, endless series of mazelike halls - and a century-long history of violent deaths.

Lauren Montgomery, her son Garrett, and her new rock star husband Stephen Ransom have just arrived at Lake House, anticipating a long and relaxing summer. But what they don't know is that their rental home is actually a labyrinthine puzzle at whose center lurks something unspeakably evil....

An inventive and chilling haunted house story in the vein of Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves, Michael Talbot's Night Things (1988) is a mixture of horror and fantasy from the author of The Delicate Dependency.

Ok…..

Loved the parts about exploring the house, but the ending kind of put me off a little. Talking about angels and doors, etc…well, I was just looking for a good haunted house story and this was just ok

A decent but not very scary ghost story

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I will start by saying Eric Moore is a great narrator and did a tremendous job bringing the story to life. That being said, for a ghost story, it wasn't very scary or tense. I mean, it WAS entertaining, but that was all. It reminded me of a Goosebumps story trying to do Cabin in the Woods. Decent, but don't expect it to keep you from sleeping at night.

Any additional comments?

I loved that line in the book so much, I needed it as a title.I enjoyed the idea of the book more than the execution in most of it. The writing was good, but I didn't really like most of the characters. I even went back and forth on the protagonists. But maybe that is the point. I cannot imagine a real-life scenario where I like everyone and/or everyone's decisions all the time either.I would have liked to have had some of the creepier venues and situations built out more. To me, this could have been a really good short story. The audio version was performed well by Eric Bryan Moore. This book was given to me for free at my request for my voluntary and unbiased review.

The Crazy Lakehouse

I enjoyed listening to this old creepy classic of the bizarre Lakehouse. It was fairly decent and held my attention. My favorite characters were Garrett a smart 11yr old and the Watcher. The house was weirdly built by Sarah Balfrom and holds ghosts and demons a place best if left alone. Hated Stephen and he got what he deserved. Recommend to anyone who enjoys old time hauntings/horror. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you!!
