This House Is Haunted by John Boyne

4.0

A lively Gothic thriller, Boyne's "This House is Haunted" manages to follow all the rules of the classic ghost story while feeling fresh and energetic. Even though none of the twists come as a huge shock, they are telegraphed delightfully. The story supports itself while never succumbing to pastiche - much - and the whole thing is held together by an incredibly likeable narrator. Deserves a place on the bookshelf alongside "The Woman In Black." RECOMMENDED.
