The Fireside Chats

{Note: This book is for mature audiences only!}

I finished reading this book today. There was one particular scene in the book that I’m not particularly fond of. To be honest, I think the whole book could have done without that particular scene anyway and it would have been just fine. Aside from that specific scene, I would say that this book would be a good fit for reading around Halloween. But keep in mind, this book isn’t for those with a weak stomach or the faint of heart or who are easily scared.

This seems like the kind of book that would be made into a movie. I’m kind of surprised Hollywood hasn’t taken this book and ran with it. If they do make this into a movie, I hope they leave that one particular scene out.

Synopsis: On a Windswept moor, an old house guards its secrets.

All Hallows Hall is a rambling Tudor mansion on the edge of a bleak and misty moor. It is not a place many would choose to live. Yet the former Governer of Darmoor Prison did just that. Now he’s dead, and his children — long estranged — are set to inherit his estate.

But when the dead man’s family com to stay, the atmosphere of the moors seems to drift into every room. Floorboards creak, secret passageways echo, and wind whistles in the house’s famous priest hole. And then, on the same morning the family decide to leave for good, their young son Timmy disappears — from inside the house.

Does evil linger in the walls? Or is evil only ever found inside the minds of men?
