Review copy It's been a while since I've read a good in-your-face horror novel. Don't get me wrong, I've read and enjoyed an abundance of excellent work in 2016, but when I compare them to The Haunted Halls, the latest from up-and-coming horror writer Glenn Rolfe, they've all been rather tame. The story takes place in The Bruton Inn, Better Beds, Better service, Better Stay. For those unfortunate enough to be booked there, the slogan doesn't exactly live up to the promise. On the surface The Haunted Halls may seem like a ghost story, after all the word haunted is right there in the tile. But, in reality this is much more than a few spirits hanging a round on aging hotel. The evil is dark, malevolent, and sexually charged. The terror starts right from the very first pages...The ice queen reappeared behind the body of Edward Young. She spared no smile, only a cold glance over the shoulder of the frozen soul before her. She slipped away, back to her place beneath the inn's heated pool. On a personal note: I really enjoyed the many music and book references in Rolfe's story, as they all added to the narrative in ways that made me smile. With horrors coming from all directions, The Haunted Halls is a wonderfully twisted tale filled with characters to both cheer and despise. Be advised, this is a story heavy on both sex and violence. If it were a movie, it would certainly be rated R, if not NC-17, if that's still a thing. If that's not your cup of tea, you might want to choose something else for your next read. But if you like your horror to have a bit of meat on the bone, you should consider adding this book to your personal TBR list. The Haunted Halls, from Shadow Work Publishing, is available in both paperback and e-book formats. If you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited you can read it at no additional charge. Also, if you are an Amazon Prime member you can read it for FREE using the Kindle Owners Lending Library. From the author's bio - Glenn is an author, singer, and songwriter from the haunted woods of New England. He has studied Creative Writing at Southern New Hampshire University, and continues his education in the world of horror by devouring the works of Stephen King and Richard Laymon. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

This was one twisted ride through the "haunted" mind of author, Glenn Rolfe. Twists and turns abound along with murders, gore flying, and plenty of blood. This book was a non-stop blood fest! As far as the characters though I never could get attached to them and the book kept hopping from past to present which was a little confusing. Other than that, it was a decent creepy book with lots of action. Three stars for this one.
