Winthrop House

By: Ambrose Ibsen

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

"They say the Jackal Man lives in that house...."

Months after a family is forced to flee the beachfront property on 100 Winthrop Road, three young travelers lost outside of Cutler, Maine find themselves taking shelter in it. Strapped for cash, the three of them spend a night in the house, wondering why the lovely old building has been left abandoned.

They don't have to wonder for long.

Strange things take place in the empty house. Noises come from behind the walls, and its occupants feel as though they're being constantly watched. The townsfolk are quick to warn them away from the property, sharing with them bits and pieces of its terrible history.

But by then, it may already be too late. Winthrop House has a mind of its own, and the entities that dwell there won't rest until they have what they want.

Another Strong Collaboration

Every time Ambrose Ibsen and Joe Hempel work together the product is a creepy, engaging listen. This is another example of this tandem’s success.

My only complaint is that this story is a bit shorter than some of the others, and lacked just a touch of the depth Ibsen’s other novels provide. It seems like some of the buildup of supernatural events was truncated, compared to his other works. Still, the overall story is quite enjoyable.

Joe Hempel delivers another great performance. He is quite at home in the horror genre.

Not what I was hoping for

It was an ok for me . not what I was hoping for still it would be a good read for others

Always a great story

Good story, always impressed, but I felt the climax was a bit rushed in this one

it seemed a little lacking.

I've waited for this book to come out for a while and I flew through it. but at the end, I felt like it was missing something.

well written & narrated

I didn't particularly care for the ending and the overall story, but it was well written and the characters were very interesting. they reacted the way people actually react in real life which made it appealing and believable. I love the narrator, his voice was pitch Perfect he was a natural.
