SCARY HOUSE by Sean Thomas Fisher
Take the title's word for it; SCARY HOUSE Is one phenomenally frightening story. A coming of age plus adult consequences ("how do I deal with something unstoppable?"), this novel is richly layered, and could be enjoyed as a coming of age, abandoned by father, staunch friendships, meeting girls, first romance, growing to maturity, protective parent, saga. But while other individuals experience these categories of life trials and joys, not too many (I don't think) hold the adolescent dream of proving the existence of ghosts. Certainly few encounter an actively haunted house with manifestations this terrifying, nor grow to adulthood in the very real and permanent fear that the terror they battled at age 13 will return, decades later, with a horrifying agenda, an implacable destiny. This is life on the line, nitty-gritty, down to the bone, horror, and it won't stop.
