The Haunted Michaelbrent Collings 9781475066944 Books
Anything but "ho-hum another haunted house book," The Haunted opens with a stylish nod to the all-time classic Hill House. The house should just be left alone. The locals know that, and for the most part respect it.But someone, or something, must not agree ... because when the old `For Sale' sign out front eventually falls down, it's mysteriously replaced ... and from time to time, outsiders move in.
The latest outsiders to do so are Sarah and Cap, who've put everything they've got into making this new start. They've got a baby on the way, and they're eager to escape a painful past that Sarah refers to as The Before.
This is of course a maddening tease most skillfully handled by an author who really knows his stuff. You're wild to know what tragedy and trauma constitutes The Before, while at the same time you're desperately worried for Cap, Sarah and the baby.
The house starts in on them when they haven't even gotten all the boxes out of the moving truck yet. They go through the usual, logical mental steps that anybody would take to try and explain the first few weirdnesses - imagination, stress, crazy pregnancy hormones, etc. - but they've barely begun unpacking when those excuses are no longer options.
Vivid nightmares, creepy phenomena, terrifying images on the nursery monitor ... they know they should leave, they want to, but they can't. They can't for mundane reasons (money) and personal territorial/stubborn ones (this is THEIR house!), but also because, while the house is seemingly demanding they go, it also won't let them get away.
It might seem like straightforward haunting fare up until that point, albeit exceptionally well-written haunting fare because Collings is one prizefighter of a writer who should, in a just world, be raking in the fame and big-money book deals by now.
Then he finally hits you with The Before, and it's a TKO. Bam. Down. Kissing the canvas. Little stars and tweety birds wheeling around your head. I mean seriously, I got chills and goosebumps, I had to step away from the book a moment and walk around going, "wow ... damn ... oh wow."
Superstar. I'm telling you. This guy deserves to be a superstar. Wow.

The Haunted Michaelbrent Collings 9781475066944 Books Reviews
I don't know where to start. There are so many good things about this book. I love the horror genre but rarely find a horror story that is genuinely true to its genre. The terror starts right from the first page. Slowly at first so you find yourself wondering if what is being seen and heard are things that can be explained by natural causes like the wind blowing or the wind whistling through the trees. The characters think the same but very quickly come to realize that something is terrifyingly wrong with their new house. Things go from bad to worse very quickly and the author has a way of making you feel and taste the fear. You feel like you are really there watching from the sidelines but experiencing all the terror that the characters are. I don't want to give anything away because this book is so worth reading if you love real horror. This author is one of the very best. His writing style is easy to follow and his descriptive powers really do make everything seem real. You can actually visualize what he is describing. It's going to take awhile to get those "faces?" out of my head. This is how I know when a book has done what it is supposed to do. When I can't get the horrible facets of the story out of my mind for awhile. I really do highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys horror at its best!! Happy reading and oh, by the way, as a friendly word of advice, You might want to read it in the daylight!!
I always love a good scarey story! However it is sometimes easy to get side-tracked and bogged down by all the descriptive info given before getting to the story itself.... not so with this book. I found myself being drawn in immediately upon reading page 1. This book has a fresh look at a truly ghostly tale where unexplained beings dart around just within the line of vision and dark forces are building and feeding off of Cap and Sarah's fear. Moving into a new house for them is stressful in itself, especially with Sarah being pregnant with their first child and Cap having to leave most of the unpacking the moving van with her while he works, but when you have to also deal with seemingly demonic forces gathering it can be most unnerving.
In some instances I could relate to the characters in the book. By this I am referring to things in my home that "seem" to move by themselves - are not where I KNOW I left them, doors opening and closing when no one else is in that part of the house and things that go "bump" upstairs when we are all downstairs watching tv or eating dinner. There was actually a couple of times I felt the hair stand up on my back of my neck and a chill run through me while reading. Thank goodness I have never had to deal with evil ghosts like Cap and Sarah!
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is aware of ghostly encounters and have an open mind. The ending is not what I expected!
