A Haunting
A Haunting: The Horror on Rue Street | L. I. Albemont
2 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
From the author of Contagion: A Novel of The Living Dead comes a new novel of dark horror. Fleeing a troubled past, Sarah Faust has found the perfect place to start a new life. Neglected but with potential, the three-hundred year old townhouse in the port city of Charleston offers a refuge and a place to start over. But all is not as it seems at 5 Rue Lane and she soon finds that her new house harbors something that has been there for a very long time. Something that refuses to stay buried. Praise for L.I. Albemont's previous work: Wonderful! Really, this is first rate. I enjoyed the zombie story, the excitement, real life drama and the historical "stuff" all intertwined. It is not your typical zombie book in that there was a lot more to all the running, gore and zombie brains. Not that I don't love all that but it really makes it much more interesting with a bit more depth. Wish the book would never have ended. Very very good zombie/end of the world story. Well worth your time. One that I think about after -- a story that sticks with you. Really liked it. Awesome book, love the historical influence! Would really love to see the next book.........I am a Walking Dead fan, and this could be a storyline!

Plot: 3/5. While the overarching plot was pretty solid (if a little predictable), the out-of-nowhere plot twists hampered more than helped the flow of the story and made it hard to believe, much less to be scared by.

I finished this one on audio today. I liked the plot but some of the book felt like it needed more editing. For someone who reads and knows a lot of paranormal history, some of the passages explaining witchcraft, ghosts, and demons were bit boring and superfluous. I thank part of is also that I'm pretty familiar with Charleston and it's ghost stories so I don't need all the background explanation. Overall it was still an okay read.

LazyOwl Good review, so maybe better for a first timer 😊 7y
annkuch13 @LazyOwl Definitely! I think this would be good for a first timer or someone unfamiliar with Charleston. It gives some great historical background. 7y
