For more than three decades John Saul has haunted the New York Times best seller list - and listeners imaginations - with his chilling tales of psychological suspense and supernatural horror. His instinct for striking the deepest chords of fear in our hearts and minds is unerring, and his gift for steering a tale from the light of day into the darkest depths of nightmare is at its harrowing best in House of Reckoning.

It has waited seven years for someone to come back to the rambling lakeside house called Pinecrest, which has stood empty since its last owner went missing. For upscale Chicago couple Dan and Merrill Brewster, the old midwestern manse is an ideal retreat, and for their kids, Eric and Marci, it's the perfect place to spend a lazy summer exploring.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 54
Lush and deceptively tranquil, with its pristine beaches and blossoming vegetation, the island basks in splendid isolation off the South Carolina coast. Here, where sudden storms unleash the murderous rage of wind and sea, stands the Devereaux mansion, a once-great plantation house now crumbling amid ancient oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Here, Marguerite Devereaux, 50 and childless, has cast off her dreams to care for her aged, demanding mother.

Brilliant summers amid golden fields. Killing winters of razorlike cold. A peaceful, neighborly village, darkened by legends of death? Who is Nathaniel? For 100 years, the people of Prairie Bend have whispered the name in wonder and fear. Some say he is simply a folk tale - a legend created to frighten children on cold winter nights. Some swear he is a terrifying spirit returned to avenge the past. And soon...very soon...some will come to believe that Nathaniel lives still - darkly, horrifyingly real. Nathaniel.

The day that the iron doors of the old mill in Westover, Massachusetts, closed forever is a day that still haunts the sleepy town’s residents. On that fateful day 100 years ago, 11 people died in a fearsome fire, and since then, no one has dared to revisit the mill or the dark secrets locked inside it. Now, a member of the once-powerful Sturgess family has aspirations to reopen the mill. Little does Philip Sturgess know that by unlocking the padlock he is also unlocking horrible secrets from the past. There are forces at work that will do their best to see the mill doors stay tightly closed.

Alarm bells start ringing when he arrives at Craven Manor. The mansion’s front door hangs open, and leaves and cobwebs coat the marble foyer. It’s clear no one has lived there in a long time. But an envelope waits for him inside the doorway. It contains money and promises more.

Publisher's Summary

One of John Saul's Best!
I have read this story a few times in the past, but discovered it all over again due to Dick Hill's reading of the story. His voice expressions of the characters and John's brilliant writing make for an outstanding read for anyone wanting an exceptional supernatural thriller!

SPOILER
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
The book seemed to drag on. It did have some interesting moments. The ending was not what I expected and that pretty much ruined it for me.
What was most disappointing about John Saul’s story?
the ending.
Which character – as performed by Dick Hill – was your favorite?
the cat!
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Black Creek Crossing?
several

Nothing new
This book is something that's been done a thousand times before.
It's the ultimate cliche of the horror house with a grimoire stashed inside.
Bulled outsider kid moves to new town check
Friend that is also and outcast. Check
Mum who just don't understand them check
Abusive/ alcoholic dad. Check
"in" rich kids who get the comeuppance. Check.
And so the list goes on.
If your looking for a book where you won't need to concentrate to much and don't mind thinking "I knew that was going to happen" then I say read it.
It's not very horrific at all ( well not when your looking for something along the lines of barker)
I give it two stars as I was in the mood for an easy read.
