I did not have any problem imagining the characters’ terror at the events taking place there. I have seen reviewers comment that they didn’t feel especially scared or apprehensive themselves, but I’m not sure that’s something you can expect when the story is about a specific location-Kill Creek house. Characters were well developed and distinctive they each played an important part in the plot and I found myself rooting for things to work out for them. Kill Creek author, Scott Thomas, does a very good job of combining the scary elements in a tightly written, cohesive story that kept me turning pages. While it is not at all difficult to find something to read in the horror genre, it is more difficult to find a horror book that tells a good story. The entity they have awakened will follow them, torment them, threatening to make them a part of the bloody legacy of Kill Creek. But what begins as a simple publicity stunt will become a fight for survival. At least he won’t be alone joining him are three other masters of the macabre, writers who have helped shape modern horror. When best-selling horror author Sam McGarver is invited to spend Halloween night in one of the country’s most infamous haunted houses, he reluctantly agrees. But something is waiting, lurking in the shadows, anxious to meet its new guests… Soon the door will be opened for the first time in decades. For years it has remained empty, overgrown, abandoned.
