From the macabre mind of a Bram Stoker Award-nominated author, this heart-pounding novel of horror and psychological suspense takes a ghost hunting reality TV crew into a world they could never have imagined. Fade to Black is the newest hit ghost hunting reality TV show. Led by husband and wife team Matt and Claire Kirklin, it delivers weekly hauntings investigated by a dedicated team of ghost hunting experts. Episode Thirteen takes them to every ghost hunter's holy grail: the Paranormal Research Foundation. This brooding, derelict mansion holds secrets and clues about bizarre experiments that took place there in the 1970s. It's also famously haunted, and the team hopes their scientific techniques and high tech gear will prove it. But as the house begins to reveal itself to them, proof of an afterlife might not be everything Matt dreamed of. A story told in broken pieces, in tapes, journals, and correspondence, this is the story of Episode Thirteenâ??and how everything went terribly, horribly wrong. "An epistolary descent into a living nightmare . . . well-written and genuinely unsettling. Fans of paranormal documentaries, ghost-hunting shows, and found-footage horror will lose their minds over this one." â??Kealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Kin "A beautiful Russian doll of a story... Episode Thirteen hooks you, creeps you out, and then it overwhelms you. It's House of Leaves meets Haunting of Hill House, in all the best possible ways."â??Peter Clines, NYT bestselling author of The Broken Room For more from Craig DiLouie, check out:
The Children of Red Peak Our War One of Us… (altro)
Do you like on line gaming and the paranormal? Do you play Ghost Exorcism or Phasmophobia while carrying on with your friends in crazy conversations of your beliefs? This book is 100% for you ( )
SUCH a great creepy horror book, which I didn't think was my thing but apparently it is. I loved how this book was laid out, in parts of a reality TV show, reading as a script. It gave the story such a real feeling and it really drew me in!
Thanks to Libby and my library to having a copy available to listen to. ( )
Unfailingly entertaining for genre lovers if you can overlook the frustrating ending and the weak character nuance of a number of journal entries. Still, a good page turner. ( )
An attempt to push the found footage film concept into th literary world, so somewhat epistolary in nature with the whole narrative contained in film description, dialog, and transcripts of video journals. Not a terrible idea and completed interestingly by the author. My problems was more with the plot of the book - it starts off as a Ghostbusters narrative with ghosties and beasties only to devolve into a Lovecraftian mysticism, with wasn't carried off very well, in my opinion - too many horror writers try to carry off the kind of otherworld mysticism of Lovecraft, either as homage or mimic, only to fall short. Maddeningly, there were brief interludes of a mastermind figure, a hoodie wearing persona only ever briefly glimpsed. But those threads don't translate into the climax or resolution, at all. I suspect an author and editor conspiracy for sequels - a situation when evident that only frustrates the reader. I wanted to like this one, and did some, but was disappointed with the last half of the book.

I believe that if we are to make any real progress in the psychic investigation, we must do it with scientific apparatus and in a scientific manner, just as we do in medicine, electricity, chemistry, and other fields. -Thomas Alva Edison, interview with Scientific American, 1920
