The Home

By: Judith Sonnet

Narrated by: Lila Kerry

THE HOME

In the early '60s, in a seemingly more "innocent" time, a group of teenagers were lured into a supposedly haunted house. The place on Sycamore Lane has a morbid history, but that's just hearsay and rumor, isn't it?

THE HOME

His name was Robbie Miller, and he was a killer. Driven mad by the THING that lived in The Home, he now exists to serve. He'll do whatever the creature that calls itself Mr. Friendlyman asks . . . He'll even become a ghost . . .

THE HOME

Now, decades later and much older, they are returning to The Home. A retired fantasy writer, A doting grandfather, and a mysterious old woman who seems to know things she should not . . .

THE HOME

A dark storm is brewing over this wicked house. A storm that will break down the very fabric of reality. A storm that demands blood and sacrifice, and feeds on the ghosts of anyone who dies within it's premises.

I know a sure fire way to summon ghosts

I loved this book so much. It kept me on my toes, and honestly I wasn’t expecting the direction it took. The plot and characters kept me enthralled.
Horror books for a long time have been very predictable, but not this one.
Plus I really like that narrator, every book she does sounds great.
25/10 would definitely recommend

Favorite book (so far) from a new favorite author

Well I just adore Judith Sonnet - and out of the 3 books I've read by her so far, this one is the best of the bunch - this is kind of like Lovecraft by way of King, but that's probably a bit reductive, as Sonnet has a style that's all her own - this has been my favorite read of 2025 so far, and it's going to be tough for anything else to overtake it - what a ride!

Praise judith and her ghosts!

Truly some of Judith's best work that earned her the 1# spot of my favorite horror author. Phenomenal narration, Amazing story. Mr.FriendlyMan easily rivals Pennywise in just how unsettling of a monster he is.

darn

I wanted to hate this book. but... it was freaking awesome. highly recommended. Great narration too.

This did not go how I expected!!!

The first 25% of the book seems so weird and random and the. It starts coming together. When I tell you the ending had me gasping for air!!!!

Simply Fantastic

This was an incredible fusion of "It" and Judith Sonnet's short story magic. The only downside is I think the main characters were still very much strangers to the reader by the end of the book, but overall this was an absolute delight--and a story I think that will reach more casual horror fans that would normally wilt at Judith's usual attention to gore and depravity.

"What are friends for? Friends are for grave robbing."

A story of nostalgia, teens, senior citizens, a haunted house, a creepy small town, secrets, and the power of friendships that last through decades.
Much of the story reads like a haunted house tale. With likable characters with interesting backstories. It turned into a bit of a jumbled gore fest near the end, but I didn't mind overall because I enjoyed the journey. The story didn't end quite the way I had hoped, but few good stories actually do. Definitely worth the Reed.
Also excellent narration with a creepy voice mashup for the villains.

What did I just listen to?

I wanted to like this book. I don't think I did, but I had to finish it. I said WTF so many times while listening. It was unsettling. The end was somewhat predictable. The narration is excellent.

Twisty, Cosmic, and Twisted!

The narration is wonderfully performed and produced! Violence here is punchy, visceral, and unflinching as cosmic mysteries unfold.

HP Lovecraft Would Be Proud…

This horror story seamlessly jumps from present-to past weaving together the story of the Beginning-to the End of the World. Unlike anything I have read recently. Read it or despair!
