![]() Special praise for the narrator, David Rintoul - he must have burned up a thousand calories an hour narrating this. There are truly creepy moments aplenty - although why people who are already unnerved by odd happenings decide to explore the basement is always beyond me, although I suppose if they didn't, there wouldn't be a book. ![]() ![]() These are actual ghosts in this book - real ghosts - ha! - not alien creatures or dragons or man-made monsters, or any of that sort of thing. "Secrets" also has none of the things I don't like in a scary story, which is to say, I don't like stories that merge into science fiction. That's a seriously frightening book, too. James Herbert also wrote "The Fog" and I remember reading that decades ago, and afterward, that book came to mind every single day when the tule fog overtook the Sacramento Valley and I had to navigate around in it. ![]() Glad I did - I should have known this would be good. I'm not sure why I decided to take a chance on it, but I like creepy old houses, especially if a ghost or two might linger, so that was probably it. Ghost stores just don't get any better than that. I don't seek out ghost stories too often - nothing ever seems to equal Susan Hills's "The Woman in Black" - the audiobook, not the film. ![]()
