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.

Body Farm Z
by Deborah Sheldon
Genre: Horror
To solve murders, you must understand the process of decomposition.
Australia’s newest body farm, the Victorian Taphonomic Experimental Research
Institute, is hidden in bushland some four hours’ drive from Melbourne.
Scattered across its 150 acres are human donor cadavers and pig carcasses
arranged to mimic some of the ways in which police might find murder victims:
exposed to the elements, buried in a shallow grave, wrapped in tarpaulin.
Forensic scientists and graduate students meticulously track each stage of
putrefaction. Today, Detective Rick Evans of the Homicide Squad is at VITERI
for the re-creation of one of his cold cases. A human donor will be locked
inside a car. But the donor has other ideas… So begins a facility-wide
outbreak of the reanimated dead. 
I’m an award-winning author from Melbourne, Australia. I write short stories, novellas and novels across the darker spectrum.
My latest releases, through several publishing houses, include the horror novels “Body Farm Z”, “Contrition”, and “Devil Dragon”; the horror novella “Thylacines”; the crime-noir novellas “Dark Waters” and “Ronnie and Rita”; and the dark fantasy and horror collection “Perfect Little Stitches and Other Stories” (winner of the Australian Shadows Best Collected Work 2017).
My short fiction has appeared in many well-respected magazines such as Quadrant, Island, Aurealis, SQ Mag, and Midnight Echo. My fiction has been shortlisted for numerous Australian Shadows Awards and Aurealis Awards, long-listed for a Bram Stoker Award, and included in various “best of” anthologies. I’m also guest editor of this year’s edition of Midnight Echo.
Other credits include TV scripts such as Neighbours and Australia’s Most Wanted, feature articles for national magazines, non-fiction books published by Reed Books and Random House, and award-winning medical writing.
