Page turner
This is a page turner, that gripped me from start to finish. It is a very psychological book that will keep you on your toes. The writing was very good and the main character is fascinating. The plot is one of the most original that I have ever read.

Flimsy story, almost comedic
While this story was extremely engaging for its genre and content, it started off with the mystery of a psychological thriller and ended up becoming like a 1970's hammer horror. It couldn't hold itself in the end and the description of the "thing" reminded me of a Sam Raimi style boring gorefest. A bit of a disappointment after 14 hours of listening.

Atmospheric Masterpiece
A spooky psychological suspense/horror film that will draw you in and get under your skin. Set in the famously huge Danvers asylum, which has been closed for years, we start with a 5-guy asbestos clean-up crew charged with making the building safe for renovations. We end with...something else. Just watch! And probably rewatch because it begs for it.

"Kathy Acker was a punk-rock, post-modern writer-artist and she wrote this piece after her mother died. The title says all there is to know about her feelings towards her mother. Acker’s writing coalesces to its most epic as she reinvents, bends, and destroys language, to build a world that is a complete psychological immersion and creative experience. Her books are a gift to humanity."

"Any collection of John Cheever’s short stories. I’m not a big fan of much of what passes itself off as literary fiction, finding it to be insipid, self-indulgent, plotless, and pointless. However, Cheever could write about everyday life and make it fascinating. His psychological insights are deft, never heavy-handed, and sometimes, as in his story “The Enormous Radio,” he veers into some really strange territory."

This House Isnt a Home
Relic- is slow at first, but ones the psychological horror begins than it gets good. Its a really good film.

The plot: When family matriarch Edna goes missing, her daughter and granddaughter return home to find her. They discover a haunting presence hanging over the home, which is taking over Edna's mind.

Its a good film and would recordmend watching it.

This House Isnt a Home
You Should Have Left- is a really good psychological thriller. Yes its about a normal house that isnt a normal house. From the outside its a normal house, but once inside its different.

The plot: Strange events plague a couple and their young daughter when they rent a secluded countryside house that has a dark past.

I do recordmend watching it.
