The Hole in the Hallway

Supernatural Thriller

By: R S Merritt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

There was no entrance to Hell when Satan was cast down.
So he tore one through the Earth on the way.

“I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”
Luke 10:18

The impact left scars in the fabric of the world. Some places never healed.

Inspired in part by true events, Hole in the Hallway is a terrifying supernatural horror novel that blends haunted house terror, demonic possession, and biblical evil into a relentless descent into darkness.

In the early 1980s, a young family moves into a quiet home perched on a remote island off the Atlantic coast. Surrounded by ocean and isolation, the house appears peaceful. Solid. Safe. But something ancient lies buried beneath it. Something that has been watching for a very long time.

The children sense it first. Whispers inside the walls. Shadows that move when no one is there. A presence lurking just beyond sight. The adults dismiss it as imagination until violence erupts and denial is no longer possible.

As the body count rises and the boundary between worlds begins to tear, the family uncovers a horrifying truth. Their land sits on a place of spiritual rupture. A wound carved into the Earth when something fell from Heaven and continued downward into the depths. This is not a simple haunting. It is a battleground.

Evil does not knock. It enters.

Hole in the Hallway is the first book in a two-part supernatural horror saga, followed by Goliath’s Bane, where the full scope of the evil is revealed and the cost of survival becomes clear.

Fans of The Exorcist, The Shining, The Amityville Horror, and NOS4A2 will be drawn into this dark, atmospheric story of possession, ancient secrets, and a home standing atop a gateway to something truly unholy.

A fast-paced horror novel that is best read with the lights on.

Pretty good!

Not too gory, has more of a psychological tone than horror.

The narration wasn’t bad for AI but a human voice is always nicer to listen to.

Overall, I enjoyed the book.

The ending

Started slow and hard to keep interesting but once pulled into details half way i was interested

Intense!

This was good.
But it got pretty graphic at times. Wish they would use a human reader and not a robot, But it wasn't too bad though.

virtual voice

I like the story, but the virtual voice has no emotion to it. it doesn't end the sentence at the right spot. also, it mispronounced a lot of words. It would have been so much better with a human narrator.

Great story.. but..

This was a great book and could’ve been an awesome book if it wasn’t for the AI narrator. I would totally listen to it again if they revamp it with a human narrator.
Is there a part two?
