Summary

Their new home is out to get them

Welcome to Angel Hill, Missouri, a town that shot blood from the ground at its own groundbreaking. There are only two roads in or out of town, and everything within those borders is subject to the whims of reality. Those who grew up here are immune to the town's peculiarities. But Jack and Liz have just moved here, and for their young son, Joey, it's almost like coming home again. As the Kitches start settling into their new home, a large abandoned house in need of a lot of TLC, Angel Hill welcomes them the only way it knows how. Footsteps in the middle of the night. Voices on the phone. Their big empty house wasn't so empty after all. There's a presence, and it's growing stronger. And angrier.

Does madness live on after death?

A hulking figure stalks the halls while childlike voices whisper in mourning. And there's something unexplainable happening to Joey. His hair is shorter now, and his eyes - they didn't used to be that color, did they? And that birthmark on his neck looks more like a scar every day. Jack doesn't want to believe his own eyes, but for Liz the threat is all too real, and it's closing in. From the invisible shapes under the sheets, the eyes she feels on her constantly, and the banging coming from the third floor - is that something trying to get in? Or something wanting out? Welcome to Angel Hill.

The Third Floor

This has got to be one of the best horror stories I have listened to by far.The story is so easy to to get drawn in right from the start, Just a normal family moving in to a old creepy house in a new town, but this house has so much history, the narrator also makes it so scary with his voice, it made me feel jumpy in places I also think this would make a good film too. Highly recommend this book if you like the spooky stuff.

Horrorshow

Rarely have I read a book, even a horror story, where the characters' reactions and interactions are this absurd. [Poss. SPOILER] For example, when the mother sees her stepson start spurting blood from his eyes, ears and nose, then vomit copious amounts of gore and fall unconscious, she simply assumes it's a reaction to the priest blessing the house and calmly sits and waits for it to stop. Immediately afterwards she has a little joke and a chat and the episode is never mentioned again! This is not a one-off, such unlikely reactions typify the entire book and cause the characters to lack any credibility whatsoever.

On top of that there is no originality. The plot is cliched, predictable and we've seen it a thousand times before. The realm of supernatural horror is, by definition, not constrained by physical laws or precedent so why is it that every story reads like it's been shoe-horned into the same template? Family move into new house in new town, house has bad history, strange things start to happen, and so on and so forth. Yawn.

The narrator didn't add much either, his voice was often flat and uninspiring and his portrayal of Jack frequently gave me the impression that I was listening to an episode of Family Guy.
