When it comes to horror, haunted house stories are my absolute favorite, and 12 Nights at Rotter House is now high up on my all time favorite haunted house book list. I finished this book in two days because I just could NOT put it down!
Felix is a struggling author looking for his big break onto the bestseller list. With a long history of writing spooky non-fiction he has his few readers but is looking for the perfect location to finally launch his career. Here comes Rotter House. Felix persuades the owner to let him stay in Rotter House for 13 nights, completely sequestered from the world. No electricity, no social media, no contact with the outside. Joining Felix on this project is his best friend Thomas whom he hasn’t spoken to in a year due to a falling out. As the two continue their stay, stranger and stranger things start to happen and soon Rotter House starts to pick at the secret that pulled these two friends apart.
This one had a fun twist at the end and the journey there is a blast. If you love haunted house novels as much as me definitely try this one out! Loved it!!

The two main characters stay in a haunted house that has many, possibly dozens of different stories in its history. Many of the stories are referenced through the book, all involving death in some way. As one of the characters says in the book, it ranges from "murder, murder-suicide, suicide-suicide, and murder-murder." Several of these stories are discussed in detail, most are mentioned briefly and not brought up again. The main plot involving the two protagonists involvescoffeebreath27's review against another edition
