The House by the Cemetery
Autor John Eversonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 oct 2018
Rumor has it that the abandoned house by the cemetery is haunted by the ghost of a witch. But rumors won’t stop carpenter Mike Kostner from rehabbing the place as a haunted house attraction. Soon he’ll learn that fresh wood and nails can’t keep decades of rumors down. There are noises in the walls, and fresh blood on the floor: secrets that would be better not to discover. And behind the rumors is a real ghost who will do whatever it takes to ensure the house reopens. She needs people to fill her house on Halloween. There’s a dark, horrible ritual to fulfill. Because while the witch may have been dead... she doesn’t intend to stay that way.

Recenzii
"The House by the Cemetery involves everything that a horror aficionado could ever want—an undead witch, comic relief, a haunted house dedicated to obscure and not-so obscure horror films, and lots and lots of gore…Indeed, The House by the Cemetery could easily be transcribed into an action-packed screenplay"
"The House by the Cemetery is a thoroughly enjoyable read, quickly paced with great writing, an interesting plot, some obscure references that were a lot of fun, a completely unforgettable climax, and good story resolution."
"This is a book that is hard to put down. I devoured this book in two sittings, furiously turning pages towards the blood-soaked conclusion."
"When the blood does hit the fan, the scenes are descriptive and dynamic - with almost film like quality...that ending is just to die for."
"John Everson has created one of my top ten books of all time. The House By The Cemetery is a cauldron filled with devilry and witchery – all my favorite things. It’s a love story at its core, but on the surface, it’s a blood-curdling tale of utter mayhem and savagery. I loved every minute of this book. 2018 has seen several great books, but this one is a definite must read for all fans of horror"
"More fun than any haunted attraction I’ve ever been to, just in time for my favorite holiday. If you only read one Halloween story this year, be sure to make this the one. As a footnote to any movie producers who might see this, The House by the Cemetery would make one helluva film"
"Overall, this is a winner of a book and a fantastic ode to the genre fans with rich characters, fantastic plotting and an accessible writing style that yearns the reader to want more."
"Atmosphere, character development, dialogue, interesting storyline, an homage to the genre that I know and love, and suspension of disbelief"
"What could possibly go wrong renovating an old house located next to a cemetery for the purposes of turning it into a haunted house amusement attraction? Well, just about the worst things that can go wrong. Mike Kostner needs cash, so when his friend throws him this renovation job, he jumps at the chance. As Mike comes to learn, the house seems to have a life and dark history all its own. As readers will come to learn, this is a book that is hard to put down. I devoured this book in two sittings, furiously turning pages towards the blood-soaked conclusion"
"I got many American Horror Story feels from this book; I could picture it in my mind, the different cast members of AHS and which parts they would be perfect for. It really felt like a story that Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk had come up with during the creative process for their next series. It’s a shame really that they have already done the haunted house theme (series 1). I can live in hope though right?"
"a very fun and very fast read. It has all the elements of a great Halloween story. It talks of horror movies and is about the building of a Halloween haunted house. Very fun stuff. The last twenty percent of the book is pure hell and I loved every second"
"The House by the Cemetery is gruesome, bloody, gory and very creepy, I was giggling with glee as the gore built up and the shocking and vivid images were created in my head…The suspense and tension that John has created is brilliant, I was on the edge of my seat throughout and I loved every second of it. The creepy factor in the book is off the scales, absolutely brilliant. The gore is gruesome and won’t be for everyone but as I love gory books I was in my element"
"a fun read full of proper slasher chainsaw witchy gory haunted horror fun. It’s a must read for horror fans especially this time of year"
"The plot was great and I loved the suspense the author created. I was on tenterhooks for most of the book and felt jumpy more than once – a perfect book for this time of the year and it is written in the style of a slasher-type movie so it is very easy to read too"
"Entertaining and gory, this is a great read for the Halloween season"
"The House By The Cemetery is “…laced with Ready Player One–style references to cult filmmakers like Jean Rollin and Jess Franco…the pacing is brisk, and this could make for a diverting beach or airport read…”
"Just in time for Halloween we have a new release ideally suited for reading durint the dark autumnal evenings. John Everson’s The House by the Cemetery brings a great mix of chills, witches, ritualistic kills and at the heart of it all a house reputed to be haunted… chills aplenty"
"…a simple sounding premise but one that has twists and turns (literally – it’s a haunted house!) and scary, strange and weird all at the same time! I have to say right here that Everson is best known for his ‘B-Movie-esque’ books with plenty blood and gore, and this book doesn’t disappoint"
"a great book for the start of October on the run up to Halloween… B movie horror fun for Halloween"
"This book has all of the necessary components for a good spooky read: witches, murder, haunting, psychics, mystery… So it’s a good Halloween pick. I actually got scared a couple times while reading in the dark, so maybe leave the lights on if you want to sleep at night!"
"I am truly amazed at the depths of this book. Personally I really enjoyed this novel, it was a true work of art. I was captivated from beginning to end, just trying to find out what was going to happen next."
"It’s a fast, gory one with tons of nods to the genre, perfect for reading in the spooky season."
