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.

Loved it!

I am a fan of Stephen King’s novels. It’s hard to find stories as captivating as his. This one is brilliant!

Meh... Typical Haunting Story

I gave this a shot because of all the “next SK” comparisons. This book was OK at best in my opinion. I dug the writing style, the story just didn’t do anything for me.

Not What I Expected.

The storyline started out good. It had me Hooked. I had to keep reading up until it turned into a History listen about New Mexico.The Ending wasn't at all what I expected. There was to much left unexplained.

Bentley Little does it Again!

Over the last 20 years, I have read numerous novels written by this author. To my knowledge, he has never advertised his books, gone on the TV circuit of talk shows, nor conducted book signings. He simply writes the best horror novels. Even Stephen King has labeled Little the "poet-laureat" of horror, which is high praise considering the source.

Although I have never read any Bentley Little novels that I disliked, I was particularly impressed with this one. It was another haunted house story but the author had the ability to mesh contact with the "evil spirits" with normal family life, making it seem so real. I know I will never go into a basement ever again. The characters were fleshed-out completely, even the women which some male novelists have trouble writing without describing women in one extreme or another. I loved the family, each member supporting the others first before outsiders, despite sibling rivalry, arguments, and the occasional bullying by Julian's father-in-law but he got what was coming to him in the end. He-he!

If you like horror stories like I do, you can never go wrong with Bentley Little. "The Haunted" is one of his best.

Great scary haunted house

I always struggle to find something that actually scares me - this definitely had its moments! listened to another by the author after this one, and this was definitely much better. Not too much gore, lots of creepy factor.

I was amazed!

I haven't heard of the writer. I edit for an Amazon writer and belong to a few horror ARCs but I just stumbled onto him. The story was engaging, interesting, and fluid. I'd recommend to horror lovers!
