Summary

The Inheritance - A novel of a house haunted by an ancient evil. A tale of lies, envy, and curses spanning generations.

Mike Gray is still reeling from the sudden death of his father when he inherits Willow House, his father’s childhood home. Keen to move out of the city, Mike decides to move his young family to the small, quaint town of Fairview. But not all is right at Willow House. There are dark forces at work, which threaten to destroy what remains of the Gray family. The curse at the heart of Willow House has lain dormant for decades, but is about to be reawakened and unleashed.

A Good Story!

An enjoyable story of generational trauma. Spooky enough to keep you hooked. Although for the life of me, i just cant understand why the narrator who is British would read the first person narrative in his native accent but switch to an American accent for the speech only.

If you can get over this you'll enjoy this book.

Great narration and story

One of the best narrations, wasn't distracting or annoying at all and read very well to convey the creepy atmosphere, which is also down to the writing of course, kept my interest throughout and possible the only horror book ever to have my blood run cold. Really good story and I feel it wouldn't be out of place as one of The Conjuring movies, just throw Ed and Lorraine Warren into the mix.

Enjoyable haunted house story

I really enjoyed this, a solid 'family haunted in new house' story. Well written, though not particularly original (but what is, these days?)
I'm disappointed that I don't see anything else written by the author as I'd love to see more of their work.
I also enjoyed the narration.

Was hooked to hear the next chapter good story.

Good story of old history affecting the current time with a satanic twist.
Just my sort of fiction.

Good story if you can get past the narration

OK so why does a story set in America have a British narrator? I couldn’t get past that to begin with but glad I stuck with it as story is pretty decent for a free listen. Character development is excellent and there’s narrator is very strong, although wrong accent! Very predictable but an enjoying listen.

The feeling of fear

The best horror story I have heard for a long time. You could feel the malevolence and heightened tension in each chapter. Great.
