Part-psychological thriller, part-urban legend, this is an unsettling narrative made up of diary entries, interview transcripts, film footage transcripts and medical notes. Twenty-five years ago, Elmbridge High burned down. Three people were killed and one pupil, Carly Johnson, disappeared. Now a diary has been found in the ruins of the school. The diary belongs to Kaitlyn Johnson, Carly’s identical twin sister. But Carly didn’t have a twin . . .
Re-opened police records, psychiatric reports, transcripts of video footage and fragments of diary reveal a web of deceit and intrigue, violence and murder, raising a whole lot more questions than it answers.
Who was Kaitlyn and why did she only appear at night? Did she really exist or was she a figment of a disturbed mind? What were the illicit rituals taking place at the school? And just what did happen at Elmbridge in the events leading up to ‘the Johnson Incident’?
Chilling, creepy and utterly compelling, THE DEAD HOUSE is one of those very special books that finds all the dark places in your imagination, and haunts you long after you've finished reading.
Why I'm Excited:
I love "mixed-media" storytelling, so this sounds really fun. I also love a good creeper, and this sounds promising as far as chills are concerned. I'm not a fan of the cover, honestly--although I do like the building--but it isn't a deal breaker. I'll definitely be keeping my eye open for this one.

Ooooh!:D I haven't read a book with medical notes, film footage transcripts and diary entries in so long (Mara Dyer has interview transcripts and they add beautifully to the book!):)
ReplyDeleteThis does sound incredibly creepy - the idea of an evil twin kinda creeps me out...;)
Even though I don't love the cover too, I know that books can be sooooo much better than their covers!
Hope you enjoy it when it comes out!
