This book follows a paranormal research reality tv show that has the opportunity to explore what is said to be the most haunted house in America. The series, Fade to Black is filming Episode Thirteen in the hopes it will be so explosive it will launch them into a second season.
The house has been abandoned since 1972 when The Paranormal Research Foundation was conducting numerous experiments on humans. The experiments, conducted on willing participants, really did a number on some of them driving them crazy or having lasting effects they cant explain. That same year, the Foundation scientific team just vanished, never to be seen or heard from again. What will the Fade to Black crew find or even worse, what will find them?
The story definitely builds and builds, ultimately climaxing with a shocking revelation. One that you will definitely not want to miss. This is the first book that I have read by this author and if this book is any indication, I will definitely check out his other works. The story also had a bit of a Lovecraftian feel to it and I'm all in for that. This book is like a found footage movie in paper form. I love the way the book is laid out. Its written kind of like in episodes: scripts, journal entries from each cast member, emails to the producers, text messages between one cast member and her sister and transcripts. I really felt each character was well fleshed out and the author made them totally believable. Using the journal entries to tell us about how they're feeling and even divulging parts of their past. I definitely have mixed feeling about the ending but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I received this book free from the publishers.
