Gross, disgusting and disturbing

I stopped when the little girl asked Laurie if she wanted to see her pussy.......

Nasty

This is one of Little’s earlier works. The sexual aspects of it were off putting.
The narrator was horrible. He seemed bored.

Horror house with creepy side-kicks

The House by Bentley Little

The story revolves around five people, four men and one woman, who start to have supernatural events happen around them, all relating to the houses in which they grew up. Eventually, they all come to the realisation that they must return to their childhood homes, which seem to be the source of the problem.

I found the novel to be confusing due to the number of character POVs, all their background stories, relatives, friends. It was information overload sometimes and I often found I had forgotten who had done, what, where and with whom. Plus there is a lot of overlap in each character’s ‘childhood house’ stories which can get repetitive.

This is definitely not one for those who like mild horror and there is a lot of sex scenes (child involved) which many readers will find disturbing. But this is a horror novel which includes that as a shock value.

The pace moved along okay, but as said before, it can get repetitive. The plot does keep you wondering if anyone will survive until the end.

The narrator did a good job. I didn’t have to speed the audio up, although there were a couple of occasions when I thought there had been a little editing mistake or the wrong voice was in use for a character.
Overall, the story was interesting and the production good.

Too Long and Offensive

What an imagination Little has. I really like the narrator’s performance; he’s very good with Littles books. Once again, tho, I must question the authors use of sex-so much of it-in a depraved manner and with a child this time. It almost made me sick every time I heard those parts.

There were so many characters, it was hard to keep them all straight.

Little is a great story teller with quite the imagination! So far the least sexually offensive book, and one of the scarier ones, is the Haunted.

Mr. Little if you’re reading this, your books are good enough without all the nasty depraved sex. Try a book without it! 😉

I'm sorry but this narrator is awful!!!

The story is confusing!! it doesn't help that the narrator uses the same monotone. there's no inflection in his voice except when he tries to over say a word!!

Just NO...

I wanted to like this book.
I love horror stories.
But first off, sorry David Stifel, the narration is horrible. So monotone. No offense to the narrator intended, maybe this is how they wanted the book read. But there is no emotional inflection, no character dynamics, just very bland.

Second...spoiler alert...and this is the MAIN reason I am returning this book. It involves a dream of a woman having sexual contact with a female child. Nope...no way...

Authors...you can write about anything but why feel the need to include child molestation in a book...why?

sexual content with a perceived child.

I wonder why people who write books believe there must be sex in them.? And why would you choose to have a sex scene with a child and a grown Woman? Do readers/listeners really enjoy that crap. I can't believe people actually gave this book 5 stars. from now on I will read all reviews.

I couldn't finish it

I love Bentley Little. His books are a fresh take on horror. He makes mundane things scary but this book just didn't flow for me. It felt scattered and confused. I didn't finish it.

Great Story!

I received this audio book for free in exchange for my honest review. The story was a bit confusing at first but it came together nicely and turned into a really good story.

Good story, but...

Loved the story, but the man reading it sounded very mechanical almost computer-like. At several points in the story, I really honestly didn't think it was a human. Still worth a listen!
