Publisher's summary

The Perry family's new house is perfect - except for the weird behavior of the neighbors, and that odd smell coming from a dark corner in the basement. Pity no one warned the family about the house. Now it's too late. Because the darkness at the bottom of the basement stairs is rising.

A solid contemporary haunted house story.

The Haunted was nominated by a jury of horror writers for the Bram Stoker Award. While it didn't win, it is a competitive list and the prize went to The Drowning Girl. I read The Drowning Girl as well it it truly is a masterpiece, so not taking the prize in 2012 really isn't a knock against The Haunted, just bad luck it came out the same year. This is an excellent psychological story with nominal gore. I heartily recommend it.

the ending was fine!

I'm not sure why some other reviewers complained about the ending but I thought it was good, not a let down at all.

My Favorite

This book is absolutely my favorite Bentley Little book. It's very spooky, and very heart wrenching. This is the third time I've read it, and I'm sure il be reading it again!

Good spooky entertainment!

A good, straightforward ghost story. Enough character development and details to make it interesting, but not overindulgent or complicated.

Both the author and the actor did a good job involving this reader in the story, keeping his interest and diverting his attention throughout.

A worthwhile read or listen!

Better than I expected

As haunted house books go, this one was definitely above average. The characters were well developed while the story is being told (instead of wasting the first 25% to 50% of the book telling their backstories). The end was not what I expected. This was a story you could listen to while driving or performing menial tasks but it provokes thought. I was pleasantly surprised.

True

Even though this audio book is fiction one I really believe in spirits.
I have always felt their presence. I’ve had encountered with very evil ones and others not so powerful.
It’s really true they follow me every where I go. I feel them touching me and I always smell one specific spirit. “He” likes to smoke and when he’s around me I can definitely smell the cigarette smoke. It’s a very strong scent. Spirits attach themselves usually to one person.
