Mr Roberts' House

A fast paced, adrenaline filled horror with an unravelling back story. I was intrigued to read further in this book to discover why the poltergeist Henry Roberts and ghost Richard Harris were haunting the house of an elderly man called Art. I was left with no questions unanswered by the end of the book, which made it a satisfying read. However, the descriptive language became repetitive throughout the book, which lessened the horror impact the further I read. Phrases such as the "smell of rotting flesh" and "blood dripping from his eyes," amongst others, were used far too frequently. Some horror scenes, which had an excellent precedent behind them, lacked description, meaning I was sometimes left feeling cheated and wishing they had been explored in more detail. Overall, an intriguing, detailed story but lacking descriptive language which I so desperately wanted to heighten the intensity.

I like reading books with ghosts in them! That’s what attracted me to this title. It was full of action on every page and ghosts doing spooky things. At times I felt a little confused by how fast paced it was but still enjoyable.

a very fast paced and entertaining read with all kinds of twists and turns. perfect for october to really get you in those spooky feels.
