Resumen del Editor

Dean and Jess knew the house had a tragic past but it did not stop them from making the move with their young daughters. It was supposed to be a new - and bigger - home with which they could continue to build upon their already established happy memories but as the house's past begins to haunt them they realize it is not the dream they first hoped it to be.

From Matt Shaw (author of The Cabin, Happy Ever After and Sick B*stards) comes a new novella; a tale of psychological horror and slow-building tension leading to an unforgettable climax.

Ending?

I guess that the end of this story is left up to each individual reader because there certainly wasn't one in the final chapter!

Interesting and descriptive

Creative and entertaining story, interesting ending. Would have liked to know more. I guess you can guess your own ending.

Pet Peaves

One of my greatest pet peaves has always been adults not listening to what their children have to say, or shrugging it off as being unimportant. I usually say, "You should have listened.....you got what you deserved. What a great "told you so!" story.

Good story

The narrator made it hard to listen but I did enjoy the story even though there was not an ending

Great start ... not so great finish!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

For the most part, yes. Enjoyed the story up until the final scene. More disappointed than surprised. At first, enjoyed the suspected paranormal approach. Kind of wished it had remained so. The ending or final scene was too much of a let down.

Has A House in the Country turned you off from other books in this genre?

Of course not. Although, I didn't enjoy the final scene of this particular story, still would continue to read more of this author's contributions.

What about Wayne Farrell’s performance did you like?

Wayne Farrell's performance was top notch. His voice and inflections reflected the story perfectly. Would continue to listen to his other performances.

Did A House in the Country inspire you to do anything?

I am a part time fiction writer and do specialize very close to this genre. Yes, I'm afraid his story of A House in the Country does inspire me to return to my writing.

Any additional comments?

My criticism of A House in the Country is best described as a story left unfinished. There was too much left unsaid and undone.

just getting good

it was just getting good and then it was over but all in all nice short spooky story

Loved it!

I'm not one for supernatural books, but this one was a gem. But then again, all of Matt Shaw's books are.

Fantastic ghost story 😉

Great story from the beginning to the ending. Great twist, narrator is great, I only wish it was longer. Wow!

the best story to date

i've read alot of scary books,but this one really had a twist,loved it,great read,stayed with me while

Not good...

First off, the narrarator did this thing with his voice where he would drop it down unnaturally low; it was very annoying. I think I could have dealt with it if it had been the book's only issue.
The story itself started off okay and held my attention well for a while. It wasn't one that was difficult to walk away from, but I did care about the characters and wnated to know what was going on with them. And then, the story shifted. It went from being a supernatural thriller to one that should be filed away in the erotica section. In the beginning, the couple in the story was intimate, but by the end of the book, everyone was and in a more graphic manner than they were in the beginning. It was like he couldn't figure out what to do with these characters, so he would fill the pages with sex and hope for the best. The actual story line at the end of the book was weak and was poorly covered by the author's attempt at erotica. It was not scary and was actually pretty lame.
