Suburbia. Shady, tree-lined streets; well-tended lawns; and cozy homes. A nice, quiet place to grow up. Unless you are teenage Meg or her crippled sister, Susan.

On a dead-end street, in the dark, damp basement of the Chandler house, Meg and Susan are left captive to the savage whims and rages of a distant aunt who is rapidly descending into madness. It is a madness that infects all three of her sons and finally the entire neighborhood. Only one troubled boy stands hesitantly between Meg and Susan and their cruel, torturous deaths. A boy with a very adult decision to make....

" The Girl Next Door is alive...it does not just promise terror but actually delivers it.... It's a page-turner." (Stephen King)

Featured Article: The top 100 horror books of all time


This list encompasses the full spectrum of what horror can be—campfire-worthy tales, stomach-churning gore, and incisive social commentary. The classics are accounted for, but it also spotlights more recent titles, because that’s the nature of the genre—it is as perennial as it is ever-evolving, conjuring whatever frights most haunt our collective consciousness. Each title does have one thing in common: It makes for devilishly good listening. So cut the lights and press play—if you dare.

Powerful Storytelling • Compelling Narrative • Thought-provoking Themes • Gripping Plot • Authentic Voice • Perfect Tone

Before you pick up this book, you got to ask yourself, why you like horror. You need to know where you draw the line or do you have a line? If you have a line, I guarantee this will cross it. The first two hours read like a coming of age story, that could have been written by Ray Bradbury. I was sucked in and then slowly things start to happen. Unlike many other horror novels, it does not involve ghosts, aliens or something out of the woods or swamp. The monster is a mom and the victim is a child. As another reviewer mentions, just as you think it gets to its worse, it gets worse. I have never read anything as awful (five stars) as this. With a couple of hours left, I found myself wishing it was over. I hoped the book would end and the last two hours was a preview, added short story, author interview, anything but more torture. It did not end. Ketchum is a great writer which makes this even more terrific. With many horrors, you have that certainty that the story is made up, fake, impossible. Ketchum's realistic writing scares the hell out of me.

The performance was amazing, Jack Ketchum is a great narrator. The story was interesting and entertaining... but... idk. I was looking for a horror novel and this leaned more lord of the flies. It was very good. Just be prepared to feel bad about it when you finish.

It was good ... disturbing..

This story made me feel terrible. It's a tale of abuse endured by a 15 year old girl and her sister from the perspective of a young neighbor boy. The language gave me a slight Goonies feel at first, but when you realize where the story is going that quickly fades. I was crushed when I found out it was a fictional retelling of true events. I appreciated the author's ability to retell this story. I will always keep her and other victims of abuse in my thoughts. You should read this if you can stomach the content and a bit of required solitude after. Knowing what I know, I still would have picked this book.

Whoa.

I had a hard time listening to this book. The subject matter was a bit extreme. The summary and previews don't convey the depravity of the acts that take place in this book. I frequent suspense and crime books that have their own but of evil to them, but this comes off as something the will turn most people's stomachs. With well over 200 books listened to, this was the hardest to sit through by far. You have been warned.

While not a bad story...
