Autor Jonathan Janz Narator Davis Brooksen Limba Engleză Audio – 5 sep 2018
Goodreads Choice Award finalist for Best Horror
When David Caine, a celebrated skeptic of the supernatural, is invited by an old friend to spend a month in “the most haunted house in Virginia,” he believes the case will be like any other. But the Alexander House is different.
Built by a 1700s land baron to contain the madness and depravity of his eldest son, the house is plagued by shadows of the past and the lingering taint of bloodshed. David is haunted, as well. For twenty-two years ago, he turned away the woman he loved, and she took her life in sorrow.
And David suspects she’s followed him to the Alexander House.

Notă biografică
Jonathan
Janz grew
up
between
a
dark
forest
and
a
graveyard,
which
explains
everything.
Brian
Keene
named
his
debut
novel The
Sorrows "the
best
horror
novel
of
2012." The
Library
Journal deemed
his
follow-up,House
of
Skin,
and
reminiscent
of
Shirley
Jackson's The
Haunting
of
Hill
House and
Peter
Straub's Ghost
Story.
Since then Jonathan's work has been lauded by writers like Jack Ketchum, Edward Lee, Tim Waggoner, Bryan Smith, and Ronald Kelly. Novels like The Nightmare Girl, Wolf Land, Savage Species, and Dust Devils prompted Thunderstorm Books to sign Jonathan to an eleven-book deal and to give him his own imprint, Jonathan Janz's Shadow Side.
His novel Children of the Dark received a starred review in Booklist and was chosen by their board as one of the Top Ten Horror Books of the Year (August 2015-September 2016). Children of the Dark will soon be translated into German and has been championed by the Library Journal, the School Library Journal, and Cemetery Dance. In early 2017, his novel Exorcist Falls was released to critical acclaim.
Jonathan's primary interests are his wonderful wife and his three amazing children, and though he realizes that every author's wife and children are wonderful and amazing, in this case the cliché happens to be true. You can learn more about Janz at www.jonathanjanz.com.

Recenzii
‘Easily
one
of
the
top
5
haunted
house/ghost
stories
I’ve
ever
read,
The
Siren
and
the
Specter
has
everything
you
could
ever
want
in
a
gripping,
hard-to-put-down,
tight,
frightening
novel.’
‘As expected, Janz delivers a fun, gruesome, and highly compelling read that happily kept me up past my bed-time on a few occasions because I absolutely had to know what would happen next.’
‘It’s brutal, it’s creepy, it’s suspenseful, but above all else, it’s a must read.’
‘Worth every bit of praise it has received so far, The Siren and the Specter should definitely be on your top 10 list of horror books.’
‘Darker and more disturbing than you can possibly image, The Siren and the Specter is not just the best haunted house novel I have read in years, but one of the better horror novels I have ever read.’
'If The Siren and the Specter doesn’t set your heart racing, there’s a pretty good chance you’re dead.'
'An original, deftly crafted, and inherently riveting novel by an author with an authentic mastery of narrative storytelling.'
"The Siren and the Specter is perfectly-paced and exquisitely told. It is a horror story that hooks you immediately, and leaves you feeling perfectly content at the end. Janz is obviously a very talented story-teller."
"There was also no shortage of suspense and chills thanks to the gruesome and graphic way that Janz uses to describe the terrifying and dark experiences throughout the book."
"I love books which are multi-faceted and go beyond the plot to bridge the gap between fiction and plausible fact. This horror from Jonathan Janz does that. A personal favorite.
