Summary
Blackwood mansion looms, surrounded by nightmare pines, atop the hill over the small town of New Haven. Ben Bookman, bestselling novelist and heir to the Blackwood estate, spent a weekend at the ancestral home to finish writing his latest horror novel, The Scarecrow. Now, on the eve of the book’s release, the terrible story within begins to unfold in real life. Detective Mills arrives at the scene of a gruesome murder: a family butchered and bundled inside cocoons stitched from corn husks and hung from the rafters of a barn, eerily mirroring the opening of Bookman’s latest novel. When another family is killed in a similar manner, Mills and his daughter, rookie detective Samantha Blue, are determined to find the link to the book—and the killer—before the story reaches its chilling climax. As the series of “Scarecrow crimes” continues to mirror the book, Ben quickly becomes the prime suspect. He can’t remember much from the night he finished writing the novel, but he knows he wrote it in The Atrium, his grandfather’s forbidden room full of numbered books, thousands of books without words. As Ben digs deep into Blackwood’s history, he learns he may have triggered a release of something trapped long ago—and it won’t stop with the horrors buried within the pages of his book.

Brilliant story. Couldn't put it down! Author was great with the different characters voices. Really put you in the scene of the book! Loved the story, not your usual read!

I liked it a lot. Kept reminding me of Alan Wake.

Profile Avatar Terence K. Dec 2024

I enjoyed this book very much. It was similar to a Stephan King novel, with good background information and insight into motivations of the characters. The reader also did a nice job with the different voices.

Profile Avatar HMCTMS Nov 2024

Throughly enjoyed this, dark and some of the characters are a bit quirky

Profile Avatar Rinda Nov 2024

Very good book ... quite long but still kept me interested and listening to the end. The Narrator was excellent with changing up the voices for the different characters and making the story captivating. A book I can recommend for a change

loved this book! Finally, a new supernatural horror book that's awesome! It's been a long time since a book has gotten me hooked right away.

Profile Avatar Storm Nov 2023

Wonderful story and book. Sucked me in and kept me intrigued.

Profile Avatar Michael Hayes Nov 2023

Great story. Loved the plot (which was very different and interesting) and the characters. Narrator did a very good job of bringing the individual characters alive. Definitely recommend this one.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2023

This book is pretty terrible. Not even remotely scary, it's a soupy mess of plot lines and clichéd characters. The person with the most potential never gets any air time (Team Maxwell!). It's pretty clear she's only there as the token diversity character. Ugh, its saving grace was that it was a free book. Good narrator though!

I fell asleep twice. The story was a bit slow.
