The House of a Hundred Whispers

I enjoyed this book it was gripping but I really prefer my supernatural books to be more eerie and less beastie just a personal thing I find devils and demons less believable

I must admit I enjoyed this book very much. So very different from what I normally read and it had a good ending

GM was a big influence in what kind of horror I was reading as I went through my teenage years. Then his artistry for weaving a good gripping tale began to slip and his stories became embroiled in the adventures of Katie Mcguire which to be honest is not my cup of tea, but that is just my opinion. When I heard that he was bringing out a proper horror novel, excitement was an understatement, pumped I surely was but unfortunately what could have been a great story, never quite lived up to the hype or expectation of myself. Without divulging to much, the story for most part was good and was building up nicely to an all out battle between Good v Evil but unfortunately it fell flat at the final hurdle which was a mass shame and as a fan I felt short changed. It was like he had ran out of ideas or didn’t know how to actually finish the story. There is one thing I should say though. Over the last few years I have started reading novels from new writers that are on the market at the moment, after all, you never know if you will find a gem or not. Well, whilst reading ‘The House of a Hundred Whispers,’ I noticed a few ideas by GM that seemed to ring with something else I have read recently in a novel by two brother called, ‘The Village That Fell into Hell.’ The ideas weren’t exactly the same, but they were similar enough for me to sit up and take notice. I know there is a chance that this could be a coincidence but to have three or four ideas similar from two novel. One novel is about a house where people are trapped while the other is about a village that has trapped spirits. One has a rape scene that happens when they are freed to roam the house for a few hours while the other novel has a woman who is drawn into the spirit world before being raped. Of course this is my opinion and maybe if anyone else has read both novels they maybe have see thing differently. I am just glad that both endings were total different and I know which one I preferred.

I love reading horror and thriller but not many books scare me. This one did. Original concept, fantastic plot that kept me reading 'just one more chapter'. It would make a brilliant film.

I thought the plot was very good but I found some of the actions of the characters to be somewhat off. When the kid goes missing to begin with, they search and then the uncle gets distracted by something else on the search and then so does the father. Then it seems like the fact their son has gone is more like they lost their keys.It affected the story for me which was otherwise a very good story.

In the middle of reading this book and am not disappointed. He is one of my favourite authors but haven't seen any of his books until now.

I have read numerous books by Graham Masterson and I thought this book would be like 'The House that Jack Built". I was wrong. Graham winds you in to his story making you feel as though you are part of it and there are many twists and turns to keep you guessing. I totally recommend this book.

A haunted(?) house deep in the wilds of Dartmoor with a hidden room full of secrets... When 5-year-old Timmy disappears all the clues point to him still being somewhere in the house, but where?The book kept me reading as I was intrigued to know how it would end.I didn't really like any of the characters very much and felt that their response to their situation was quite unrealistic.SPOILER ALERT...I really hated the (not quite) rape scene and felt it was totally unnecessary and cheapened both the characters and the book.The idea of what happens to the priest and the wizard was interesting, but at no point would I describe this as horror.Overall I enjoyed the book and wanted to keep reading. I would recommend to others, but as an enjoyable enough yarn to pass a few hours rather than a horror tale for long, dark Winter evenings.
