this book started out Ok. it was great for a haunted house type book. But not your standard one... there wasnt a lot of door slamming and lights flickering. Although this book was rather slow i thought it was a good read for the most part. at points it did ramble on and got boring but it was fun. I dont think it was that scary but maybe if it were an actual movie it would be. at points where the main character was walking in the dark alone i felt it couldve felt more tense. i forgot he was alone

Rarely does a book make me stop breathing or make me want to say eewww, nononono.... Or run away! But, Nightmare House did all of that. The web into which the reader is drawn is so tightly woven there you remain, well after you finish the tale. To think this is the third book. I didn't even realize this until looking on Good reads! Well it is a stand alone novel so it didn't matter. Enjoyed this book, and loved the rich descriptions of everything!

While the pacing was a bit slow, Clegg has a way with words that envelops you in atmospheric dread. The short novella at the end of the book was unexpected, to say the least - in more than one way. I had no idea there were sequels to this book, but I enjoyed "Nightmare House" enough to seek them out.

I know Doug, and I had already read this book. But re-reading it by listening to the audio version, I spooked myself to the point that I turned on the dome light in my car and checked to make certain no one was hiding in the back seat. :D

A very well written and well executed "ghost story" if you can get past the first few chapters of history crap but you do have to pay attention because like Ethan/Esteban says his name plays into the story at the end.

I liked the story overall and would have given it 3 stars if the latter part of the story wasn't so boring and seemed to drag out way too long.

This book was actually nightmare house with a shorter novel/story included. I enjoyed them both. Nightmare house was about a guy who inherits harrow house from his grandfather. When he goes there very quickly he begins to experience strange occurences. There are more harrow house books as well. I like that idea. A series of sorts all centered around a house. I'd read it again and recommend it. Purity the book tacked on was good but not one I'd read again.

Very good although it reminded me a bit of Rats in the Walls by H.P. Lovecraft but not in a plagiaristic bad way. The second novella was totally unexpected, in more ways than one.

I'm not a huge Clegg fan, but this one was entertaining and had a great spooky atmosphere. I will say it wasn't developed enough, there seemed to be more story and he skimped on it. Still, overall a very good read.

While the author was very good with descriptions and produced a frightening story, there were several internal inconsistancies that distracted me during the tale and lowered my overall enjoyment.

I expected more of a *pop* from this book based on the description of it. It was good, but didn't quite rise to *pop*. I do have more by this author on my TBR list and will read them.

This was pretty scary. I love a book when towards the end it has me saying out loud "Oh my God!". I will start #2 of the Harrow House Series now.
