The Haunted
by Michaelbrent Collings
Genre: Horror
My Review
I’ve read several of this author’s books and he has a way of getting under my skin and giving me a good scare. This was a book I grabbed several years back. Read and enjoyed. And somehow neglected to review. It’s time to do that now.
Whether it’s the house or the people in it, I’m always up for a good haunting. And this starts haunting you right from the beginning. Don’t think it’s just another abandoned house story. I kept visualizing what was happening and this one chilled me to the bone.
There’s The Before. What Sarah refers to as the mysterious event that occurred before they moved into the new house and tried to start anew. I was so curious and the author kept the reveal just out of reach. A great hook to keep my curiosity peaked.
Then there’s the settling in to their new home. The strange, frightening occurrences begin immediately. And they just keep getting worse. Sarah and Cap are between a rock and a hard place. They can’t afford to move and they won’t be driven from their home. Even if they wanted to leave, the house won’t let them.
There you have it. A terrifying haunting. A family that can’t escape it. And then, the big reveal. The Before. I didn’t see that coming at all. And the ending. Whoa. Didn’t see that coming either.
Collings delivers with The Haunted. Just like Sarah and Cap, I couldn’t escape this book until I read the last word.

Synopsis
They have the beginnings of a perfect family. A husband, a wife, a baby on the way.
But something will stop them from being happy as they move into their new house: the power of the undead that roam the halls of their home.
The demons that have come to claim them. The darkness that seeks to destroy them.
The haunted.
