House Of Skin
by Jonathan Janz
Genre: Horror / Paranormal
My Review
It wasn’t that long ago that I discovered Jonathan Janz and quickly devoured several of his books. House of Skin has another chilling, gorgeous cover and dark and mysterious title. After reading the synopsis I knew I wanted to read it.
So, what can I tell you about this book? I went in curious and it didn’t immediately grab me. That’s okay. I don’t always have to be mesmerized by an opening. And then I met some very unlikable characters. That’s also okay. I’ve read many books where I didn’t like the characters. Makes it much more interesting when things go sideways. I was starting to wonder if this just wasn’t one for me. But, not one to be able to leave a story unread, I continued on. You just never know what might be coming. Then, it started to get real interesting. Real crazy. And there was the Janz story I was hoping for.
House Of Skin might have taken it’s time hooking me, but when the teeth sunk in, they had a big bite.

Synopsis
Myles Carver is dead. But his estate, Watermere, lives on, waiting for a new Carver to move in. Myles’s wife, Annabel, is dead too, but she is also waiting, lying in her grave in the woods. For nearly half a century she was responsible for a nightmarish reign of terror, and she’s not prepared to stop now. She is hungry to live again…and her unsuspecting nephew, Paul, will be the key. Julia Merrow has a secret almost as dark as Watermere’s. But when she and Paul fall in love they think their problems might be over. How can they know what Fate–and Annabel–have in store for them? Who could imagine that what was once a moldering corpse in a forest grave is growing stronger every day, eager to take her rightful place amongst the horrors of Watermere? FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing. Launched in 2018 the list brings together brilliant new authors and the more established; the award winners, and exciting, original voices.
