If someone twlls you a hill is haunted, maybe don't build a house there and move your family in. That's my takeaway from this novel, Interesting book, not terrifying, but will keep you involved.

A short horror story that can be read in a sitting. It took me a little longer than I thought to get through this one. I am going to blame reading when I was tired and not feeling great. It is a twisted paranormal/horror story, cult like set in the 1950's. Gruesome in parts, slow in others. Evil lurks in the Blackthorne house which was built on a hill by an old cemetery and water well that had a witch hung from it.

I found the author's writing style did fit the theme of the story and I did enjoy it. I would recommend it to readers of short stories. I think that it could have been developed a bit more and had some more interaction in it with the characters.

I give this a 3 out of 5 stars. I received a copy of this title for review purpose. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I liked this short story. I was hooked in right away . I found it is well written. But I just wish it was a little bit longer

2.5 stars. It was good, creepy, builds up some scared moments at some parts. But, when the story begins to open “who’s Bobbie” it suddenly changes become a first person reading. I’m confused when the sentence starts with “I” but it still mention the names of the characters from the story, so did I miss one character here? And I’m unclear about what is each of the character background story, it just keeps going and going without opening it, until the book ends. It’s a short reading but too short for the dialogue, the background story.

Haunting of the blackthorne house by Bruce Knapp.
A fantastic short read. Very eerie and creepy. 5*.

I'm sorry but unfortunately this wasn't for me. I couldn't connect with the writing style and think it could have benefited from a bit of polishing. I also found it difficult to care about any of the characters and the story as a whole. Overall it just wasn't a good fit for me.
