I am so impressed by this author. he wrote what felt like a full length novel, with a proper beginning, plot drive, great story-arcs, character development and a satisfying yet open ending, all within 74 pages. This story is spectacular, I’ll definitely be on the hunt for his other books.

This is a fun, fast horror novella that I sped through in one sitting. The images are creepy, the story is engaging, and there's just enough build-up to make the final climax and pay-off all the more powerful. And yet... all that said, I have to admit that I've enjoyed Burke's short stories quite a bit more than I enjoyed this novella. Part of it was feeling like it was too clear where the book was going, because of its set-up--to the extent that even once I realized there was more to it, enough of the tension had been lessened that I still wasn't all that surprised.

Novellas are a tricky beast, and I used to avoid them because I always ended up feeling as if they were either over-extended short stories that would have been better off shorter, or else under-developed novels that would have been better off as novels. More than once, I've felt that a novella could have been better off as either a novel or a short, but ended up in some no-man's-land where it almost worked for me, but didn't quite. Since avoiding novellas for this reason, I've been pulled back in and discovered quite a few that I love... Unfortunately, though, this novella reminded me of why I used to avoid them. I could see arguments for this being much shorter or much longer...but as is, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to, especially after already being a fan of the author from other works.

This long short story or short novella is fun and different with at least one great jolt. Not the exact ending I wanted but well played. Will look for more by this author.

A nightmare inducing riot for your imagination!

I could just picture this book as a documentary playing out in front of my eyes and I am a big fan of a good documentary programme so I loved the writing style of this book.

There are so many haunted, tainted, evil house stories out there, both in novels and in movies that we have all read or seen and as with a lot of things once you’ve read/seen one you’ve seen them all. But this book however takes its own spin on the haunted house and makes it entirely his own!

I won’t go into the plot as the book description has done that for me and to say any more would be to give to much away, but what I will say in regards to the books contents is that it definitely sparks the imagination, so much so I came face to face with that hideous clown in my sleep
