THE SPITE HOUSE

Adam Lazarre-White narrates this terrifying debut novel with a Southern drawl that puts the gothic into this gothic thriller. Eric Ross, who is on the run with his two young daughters, needs to make a lot of money fast. He stumbles upon an ad seeking someone to inhabit a notoriously haunted house owned by a less than forthcoming woman who claims to want proof of paranormal activity. As Eric uncovers the history of the house, he becomes enmeshed with the spirits who seek retribution. Why him? And what price is he willing to pay to protect his daughters? Lazarre-White's measured pacing keeps the chills coming and draws out the exquisite terror for the rapt listeners. Listen to this with the lights on. L.M.G.
