4.0

Three Words That Describe This Book: oppressive atmosphere, family secrets, perfectly paced
Family ties also frame the first novel by well known and award winning audiobook narrator Chris Sorensen, THE NIGHTMARE ROOM. Audiobook narrator Peter and his wife need to escape their own personal tragedy, so they head back to Peter’s hometown, to care for his ailing father and move into an old farmhouse that Peter didn’t even know his father owned. When Peter heads to the basement to set up his studio, he awakens a malevolent force within the home. What follows is a perfectly paced, well plotted and compelling haunted house tale filled with oppressive atmosphere, sympathetic and detailed characters, and only a touch of gore. Readers will compulsively turn the pages watching Peter confront demons both supernatural and real in order to save his family. This is a perfect suggestion for fans of haunted house stories, and there is a promised sequel already in the works.
