Acerca de esta escucha
Julie and James settle into a house in a small town outside the city where they met. The move - prompted by James' penchant for gambling, his inability to keep his impulses in check - is quick and seamless; both Julie and James are happy to leave behind their usual haunts and start afresh. But this house, which sits between lake and forest, has plans for the unsuspecting couple.
As Julie and James try to settle into their home and their relationship, the house and its surrounding terrain become the locus of increasingly strange happenings. The architecture - claustrophobic, riddled with hidden rooms within rooms - becomes unrecognizable, decaying before their eyes. Stains are animated on the wall - contracting, expanding - and map themselves onto Julie's body in the form of bruises; mold spores taint the water that James pours from the sink. Together the couple embark on a panicked search for the source of their mutual torment, a journey that mires them in the history of their peculiar neighbors and the mysterious residents who lived in the house before Julie and James.
Written in creepy, potent prose, The Grip of It is an enthralling, psychologically intense novel that deals in questions of home: how we make it and how it in turn makes us, inhabiting the bodies and the relationships we cherish.

Historia
Long ago, Nathan lived in a house in the country with his abusive father—and has never told his family what happened there. Long ago, Maddie was a little girl making dolls in her bedroom when she saw something she shouldn’t have—and is trying to remember that lost trauma by making haunting sculptures. Long ago, something sinister walked in the mountains and the coal mines of their hometown in rural Pennsylvania. Now, Nate and Maddie Graves are married, and they have moved back to their hometown with their son, Oliver. And now what happened long ago is happening again...to Oliver.

Historia
Fueled by paranoia and visceral suspense, and crafted with masterful restraint, these 17 stories explore what happens when our fears cross over into the real, if only for a fleeting moment. Identities are stolen, alternate universes are revealed, and innocence is lost as the consequences of minor, seemingly harmless decisions erupt to sabotage a false sense of stability. False Bingo is a collection of realist fables exploring how conflicting moralities can coexist: the good, the bad, the indecipherable.

But when Jake leaves "The Girlfriend" stranded at an abandoned high school, what follows is a twisted unraveling of the darkest unease, an exploration into psychological frailty, and an ending as suspenseful as The Usual Suspects and as haunting as Misery.

Art Barbara was so not cool. He was a seventeen-year-old high school loner in the late 1980s who listened to hair metal, had to wear a monstrous back-brace at night for his scoliosis, and started an extracurricular club for volunteer pallbearers at poorly attended funerals. But his new friend thought the Pallbearers Club was cool. And she brought along her Polaroid camera to take pictures of the corpses.

Noah went missing two years ago, and his body has never been found. Almost everyone, including Ava’s semi-estranged husband, Wyatt, assumes the boy drowned after falling off the dock near their Church Island home. Ava has spent most of the past two years in and out of Seattle mental institutions, shattered by grief and unable to recall the details of Noah’s disappearance.

Lyra's story begins in the Haven Institute, a building tucked away on a private island off the coast of Florida that from a distance looks serene and even beautiful. But up close, the locked doors, military guards, and biohazard suits tell a different story. In truth Haven is a clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas, or human models, are born, raised, and observed. When a surprise attack is launched on Haven, two of its young experimental subjects - Lyra, or 24, and the boy known only as 72 - manage to escape.

Many many words, few few scares
I typically LOVE a good horror story, much to the chagrin of my husband when I awake in bed soaked in night sweats. However, the rather boring narration and overly abstract wording in the book sucked all of the horror right out of it. I had to rewind it at several parts as say "wait. . . was that supposed to be scary?". Half of the time, I'll be honest, I had no idea what was even going on. I remember several points where the author would go into these long overly florid metaphors that didn't even make sense and I would think to myself "what the heck is going on?." It felt like maybe the characters were going insane so I wasn't really supposed to know or understand anything. Maybe I was going insane? I kind of thought so by the time the book was (finally) over. Oh and there really is no ending, just a bunch of little "clues" you can go ahead and piece together yourself and hope the book kind of makes sense. I really just wanted a book with a direct story line where a lot of scary stuff happens, and maybe a couple of night sweats. . . . this wasn't it.

starts strong but never finishes
as much as I wanted to love this book, I didn't find the story all that compelling. starts off of the great premise, but deteriorates into flowery language that leaves the reader more confused than anxious or scared. book starts out with a lot of plot motion but then gets stuck in a cycle that never goes anywhere.

Boring.
This storyline was drawn out & very confusing. the narration was very very boring. I never felt any emotion, including annoyance, I just kept waiting for the story to start but it never did. and yet somehow all the words leading to something still managed to feel forced & rushed. also the plot is so disjointed in an unstrategic way.

Subtle and creepy
This is one of the better "horror" novels I've read in quite some time. Subtle yet genuinely creepy.

At least it was short
I never drop books, but this is the closest I’ve ever come. The only reason I didn’t was because it was only 6 hours and I’m stuck in an airport for a delayed flight. Characters felt contrived and the story never really goes anywhere. I can’t recommend this one, sorry

Great story, not a great cast
Loved the story by Jac Jemc! Reminiscent of Shirley Jackson’s novels! However, the female narrator was not easy to listen to. The male reader was great! Female not so much. She didn’t fit the feel of the story. She would be great for another genre, maybe romance or mystery, just not horror.

WTF
The beginning hooked me. The middle had me unable to set it down. The ending... left me angry and with more questions than answers. when I finished I, quite literally, said "What the actual f*** was THAT?!"

Excellent narrators . . .
Suspenseful and intriguing! The readers did a terrific job of bringing the characters to life…very easy to listen to! Great company on a road trip!

Stars Awesome - Ends...Abruptly
S P O I L E R S
This was somewhat of a disappointment at the end.
James and Julie move into a haunted house to run from James’ demons in the city. Unbeknownst to the you couple, the demons in the home they move in to are bigger. Mysterious rooms, odd writing, replicant beings and shadows in rooms, a neighbor who will not stop looking into the home from his window, an overall feeling that something is off, bruises covering Julie’s body, and lapses in time that somehow disappear. This is what you can expect with this book.
It’s a quick read. It’s fast paced and it’s definitely creepy as hell up until the end. The book flips between both peoples perspective of the events occurring giving you both perceptions. Then, sadly, the book outpaces itself and just - ends.
Honestly, I’m fairly certain the scene of James being under the bed, the Julie sex scene with “not James” and the James scene where he sees her standing with the mask on (and she’s in bed when he walks in to get in bed) will probably sit with me for the next several months. Creepy as hell.
When I say it ends - I mean - it just ends. Abruptly. Almost like the author got tired of maintaining the terror and said - okay we’re done here so they’ll just sell the place and move on with their lives like nothing ever happened. Started off with a bang - ended with barely a ripple.
Also question - if the house had such a mold issue - could you sell it? Maybe I missed it but - fairly certain you can’t.

Ultimately disappointing
I think the best kind of horror stories build. You get to uncover some mystery in bites and pieces. This novel seemed to stall for a long time in the middle. No new information, just the couple being subjected to the same "haunting," chapter after chapter after chapter.
