Horror Aficionados discussion

Hi,

I read this book many years back. Now I don't remember the title.

This is how it goes:
A paranormal researcher, who is secretly convinced that there are no ghosts, is asked to investigate a remote bungalow by its resident family. This happens in UK. Once he sets up his equipments, he begins to see some activity. He is still not convinced. Until, he is almost killed by a ghost.

I don't want to spoil this novel for those who haven't read this. If you need the ending to identify this novel, please ask me. Thanks to all.

Hell house by Richard Matheson? Maybe?

jeff, sorry it is not hell house. In this book, there is only one researcher.

Haunting by James Herbert ?

Mehmet,
Yesss! That's it. It has such a generic title that I couldn't figure out. Thanks sir!

No problem Sound, just glad i could help :-)

Sounds a lot like Haunted House by Jack Kilborn as well. Seems to be a popular theme for a novel. I'm currently reading Hell House - just finished reading Haunted House, prior to March's novel - Geek Love.

You are right Misty Haunted house novels do often have a similar template. I read Hell house also. James Herberts novel Haunting was not my favourite of his novels. It was short and fun but i think its sequal was much better (Ghost of sleath). Was Haunted House by Jack kilborn set in the UK ?

I agree that this was not Herbert's best. But thanks Mehmet, I will check into the sequel. I have not read that one yet.

You know, Mehmet, I don't believe it was, but I can't recall where it was set.

Also Sound the last book James herbert wrote before he died was the third book with same character. Called Ash which i have not read yet but will soon. So keep that in mind :-)

Aha. that sounds like my next book. I will hunt that book down.

Misty,

I just looked up Jack Kilborn's Haunted House. Seems like the fourth sequel in a series. Is that series good?

Sound,

I haven't read the rest of the sequel. This was a decent stand alone book and I don't think it's necessary to read the others, but now that I know there are other books in the series, I think I might have to look into them:-)

Nice :)

I'm glad you wanted to know which book this was, it's sounds interesting!

It's actually haunted vs haunting, but with the author name tied in you can't go wrong :)

Picked up the series - looks just as good as I thought it would from your short description!

Happy reading!
Katie

ooops you are right Katie it is Haunted :-) My mistake, so many horror books title goes through my head i mix them up or get the title wrong. James Herbert is a great author though !

katie,
You are right. It is "haunting". i missed it.
I am glad that you picked this book from my description. I did like the book. I hope you enjoy!

Oops.. "haunted" it is.

You friendly folks wanna be friends here? Groups are fun.

Ok Sound i send you friend request :-)

Thanks Mehmet!
