Five strangers from across America are about to open the door to an unspeakable evil in this horror novel from "master of the macabre!"* Bentley Little. They share a dark bond. A haunted childhood. A shocking secret. A memory of the houses they lived in--each one eerily identical to the next. From the remote foothills of the west to the green lawns of suburbia, they are returning--to the past, to the unspeakable events they long to forget...to the house. Now, their journeys are about to converge in a terrifying challenge to confront their nightmares--or be trapped inside them forever.... *Stephen King… (mer)

Sixty pages in and already too many instances of sexualizing an adolescent girl for my taste. The fact that it’s described as “sensual” is grotesque. Not the kind of horror I’m interested in. Closing this one unfinished. ( )

Bentley Little writes the kind of books you want to keep hidden and under lock and key. They are gory, graphic, defiant, nasty, horrifying, and weird as hell. That being said, once you start a book of his you don't want to stop until you read the last line of the book. Triggers: child abuse, sexual deviance and gore. ( )

Although sometimes it did seem Bentley did try for shock effect a little too much, this book was still unique, creepy as hell, and will never be forgotten by anyone who reads it. The little girl is chilling and just plain nasty...I felt like a good long shower after reading this one. The plot is a complex maze you won't be able to figure out until the ending. Characters seemed genuine. The atmosphere was just plain dark and almost...forbidden. The pages are almost visually covered in grime and nastiness. ( )

Review: The House by Bentley Little.

I enjoyed the book. The story was somewhat graphic at times but entertaining. The first half of the book was intriguing and getting to know the five characters didn’t take long to figure out how they were connected. The second half was a little slower pace because the action was spread out through to many pages and the ending just jumped right out at the reader and the book was finished. Plus, throughout the story there were a few unanswered questions I was left with but nothing really to hinder the book.

The characters were introduced in the story as strangers and I don’t think they ever made a real connection to each other even though they were kept together for some time in one house or houses…. I thought it lacked the bonding people make when trying to escape the paranormal aspect in a haunted house or houses…The theme of past events was describe well and understandable. I guess the plot was more identifiable by the cause, the past, and most of all the butler and the little girl who haunted the characters throughout the story were more important then having the characters bond in some way. Even at the end the characters were more disinterested with each other that it felt like they just walked away from the story….”The End” feeling.

The story was weird but like I said, it held my interest. There were some graphic disturbing scenes, frightening adventure, paranormal insights, and one house becoming five houses, one death, and past events to be redirected to break the spell that kept the character locked together into a house of horrors to die together or to allow them freedom to live their lives.

Found this author by accident. His writing style is very much like Stephen King. His books are creepy and keep you interested to the very end. I read this one in one day. ( )
