This book is fantastic! It is literally a book that you cannot (and should not) put down. It will have you looking at the shadows in your corners "in a whole new light". I found the book to be very well written, moved at a good pace, frightening and on overall excellent book! I highly recommend it!!Happy Reading!

WARNING: Don't read this before you go to bed!!!!!

The Haunting by Ruby Jean Jensen is a wonderful book. When i got the book from a friend a year ago, i only read the first chapter, but i was bored one day and descided to finish reading starting from the beginning again, and i COULD NOT put down the book. I made the mistake of reading it before i went to bed and everytime i heard a noise i jumped. Sometimes i was afraid to keep reading in some parts because i was afraid that it would scare me too much. The ending, i thought, was very unexpected. I cried at the end. This book is a MUST READ. So if you aren't sure whether to buy it or not, then let me make the descision for you, YES BUY IT. You won't regret it!!!!

Creepy, Gothic Horror!

It is unfortunate that this novel has the same title as last summers horror film fiasco. This is a truly creepy, look over your shoulder, late night horror novel. Basically, the house is haunted by demonic creatures which have been conjured up by a former occupant of the house. Jensen reveals just enough details about the creatures to make your skin crawl. If you think you have this novel figured out in the first fifty pages, think again. The author know how to throw in twists. The characters you are sure will survive don't make it. I can't tell you much without spoiling the suprises, but if you like novels by Muriel Grey, John Saul or Richard Laymon you will enjoy this 'Haunting'.

Sheer addictive terror that stays with the reader.

I read this book and for weeks my thought and dreams kept going back to the house. Feeling the need to go back in, I re-read the book slowly, experiencing every scene, the fear, the terror. Soon the house and Bad Things crept into my nightmares. This would make the best movie ever!

A wonderful CLASSIC gothic...

Ruby Jean Jensen has done it again! THE HAUNTING is Ruby'sfavorite novel she has written and it is apparent why. The book issplendidly written and very terrifying! It's hard to find traditional gothic horror stories with a modern "twist". All horror fans will LOVE this book! END
