Within These Walls

By: Ania Ahlborn

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

With his marriage on the rocks and his life in shambles, washed-up true-crime writer Lucas Graham is desperate for a comeback, one more shot at the best-selling success he once enjoyed. His chance comes when he's promised exclusive access to death row inmate Jeffrey Halcomb, the notorious cult leader and mass murderer who's ready to break his silence after 30 years, and who contacted Lucas personally from his maximum-security cell.

With nothing left to lose, Lucas leaves New York to live in and work from the scene of the crime: a split-level farmhouse on a gray-sanded beach in Washington state whose foundation is steeped in the blood of Halcomb's diviners - runaways who were drawn to his message of family, unity, and unconditional love. There, Lucas sets out to capture the real story of the departed faithful. Except that he's not alone. For Jeffrey Halcomb promised his devout eternal life... and within these walls, they're far from dead.

Critic reviews

"Some of the most promising horror I've encountered in years." (Seanan McGuire, New York Times best-selling author)

Pretty good

This book was good. it kept my attention no problem. However, there is a huge flaw.... this book desperately needs two narrators. it needs a male and female. unfortunately, it desperately deserved a better narrator. I feel like he didn't even try.

Wonderful Story

I couldn't put it this book down. Great twists and turns. Perfect scary atmosphere. Ania has a way with words.

What if a religious cult leader was correct?

Loved how this book took a completely unexpected angle on the “crazy religious leader/zealot” story.

Well Written

Well written ghost story. The characters are not likable, but many people aren’t. Their desperation as a driving point for the plot was palpable. No happy endings, very twisty.

good and twisty.

reeled me in fairly quick and that's what I like! a bit predictable but still a good read.
