Intriguing

I'm sitting here still stunned by what I've just listened to! At first I thought it was dreadful what was happening , but the more I thought about it
I felt it was a pretty good option IF it were by choice. Evil genius and his minions at work! Lol. That Benson was certainly loyal to a fault. All in all I enjoyed this walk on the creepy side. Try it. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and story to life.

Ghost Story with a Twist

Interesting story about Eddie, who has had a serious financial and personal setback, with nowhere to go, meets Dr. Albright, a brilliant surgeon, who offers Eddie a place to stay and a job until he gets back on his feet. Eddie notices many weird occurrences, and soon finds out that Dr. Albright is a mad scientist. Chaos ensues.

Eerie and Hauntingly Delightful!

When unwise decisions put Eddie on the outs with Steph, he meets a stranger in the park … and makes yet another one! Eerie and hauntingly delightful, “The Ghosts of Harcourt Grange” is perfect! Every element I want, I NEED for the perfect ghost story is there! I found the story riveting, the flow smooth with no lagging, the mystique plentiful, and answers provided at the perfect pace! Also, having faced a brain related medical crisis in the not too distant past, I confess to feeling a sense of “there but for the grace of all that’s holy, or not, go I”! At times this story scared the wits out of me, it’s that well researched, but since I’m here to listen, it’s all good! 😊 The characters are fabulously detailed and beautifully developed. I really felt for Eddie, the main character. I felt his fear, his horror as he began to realize what was really going on at Harcourt Grange, and his sense of hopelessness and despair. I also felt his resolve to do anything, everything to bring about a resolution, no matter the cost to him! The growth in his character throughout this beautifully written, horrifically haunting story was profound! His character was not the only one that experienced profound growth, but identifying the others would be playing spoiler, and far be it from me to do that! As you listen you’ll have no trouble picking them out! Eddie and all of these beautifully crafted characters were vibrantly brought to life by smooth, clear, consistent narration that painted a moving picture of the authors vision in my mind as I listened. I truly enjoyed this five star ghostly presentation!

Not your typical haunted house story

I've read a lot of haunted house books, but nothing like this! What a twist!

Fabulous!

I was less than 20 minutes in, and I knew I was going to love this book. Great intrigue, the right amount of spooky, and I love the ending. There was even a portion that made me think of Stephen King. Yeah, this is good stuff.
