This novel is a nightmare inducing supernatural horror that gets more horrific as it goes along. Some of the images and scenes will stay with you for a long time after you've read it.

A man has a podcast about a missing friend from his childhood, attempting to get to the bottom of where he went. But everyone soon turns on him when it's revealed that his friend was never missing. He and his mother have been hiding from an abusive man. Now, because of the popularity of that podcast, he has put their lives in danger.

When our protagonist is summoned home, he's informed that his best friend has committed suicide and horrific details soon come to light. He decides to get to the bottom of it because he, and everyone else, believes his childhood home is cursed and in that long abandoned home is where his friend went to kill himself.

And, man, from that setup this book takes us on a terrifying and unrelenting ride that doesn't stop. Dreadful things begin to happen, horrifying deaths occur, and brutal supernatural events take place. It's a gruesomely disturbing narrative which I love.

There are many pop culture references which give some dark humor along the way. Our protagonist is the narrator and he's not an altogether good man at all. In some ways he's deeply flawed and has many regrets. But as he tries to get to the bottom of what's happening to him and his friends, it gets progressively more unsettling and bloody.

I thought this book was a banger and would highly recommend it for horror fans.

Wow. What a great first novel. This author knows how to write horror. Haunted house story like you have never read before. There is some familiar tropes but that is ok. Great twist at the end as well. If you like gory, demonic, podcast, type stories this is for you!

It's rare for me to find a book eerie or creepy, but this book had moments that were just that. It was a little stressful to read, but in a good, suspenseful kind of way.

The storyline I thought was interesting and I felt so bad for the MC. I thought that the horror factor in this book was very well handled and that it makes for a good... haunted property? story. Everything flew well and the pacing was spot on. Like I said, I don't get easily creeped out but there were a few scenes in this book that had me wanting to crawl under the blankets, so good job to the author.

As far as the writing went, I enjoyed it. It was engaging and easy to read. I enjoyed this book enough that I read it it one sitting and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good, creepy book.
