Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at http://www.wishfulendings.com/ to spotlight and discuss books we're excited about but haven't read, which may not even be released yet.
NB: I don't follow or leave comments on blogs run by Google Plus, or DISQUS as I refuse to join something just to leave comments, and I won't allow them to follow new people, update my profile or post tweets 'on my behalf'. I won't comment on any blog that makes me sign in using another account.
At the end of a dark prairie road, nearly forgotten in the Kansas countryside, lies the Finch House. For years it has perched empty, abandoned, and overgrown--but soon the door will be opened for the first time in many decades. But something waits, lurking in the shadows, anxious to meet its new guests.
When best-selling horror author Sam McGarver is invited to spend Halloween night in one of the country's most infamous haunted houses, he reluctantly agrees. At least he won't be alone; joining him are three other masters of the macabre, writers who have helped shape modern horror. But what begins as a simple publicity stunt soon becomes a fight for survival--the entity they have awakened will follow them, torment them, threatening to make them part of the bloody legacy of Kill Creek.
This one has intrigued me since I first saw it on a few blogs as an ARC release and it sounds like my kind of creepy horror, though I don't read haunted house things normally. I do like the sound of this one. This came out October last year so I'm late to the party!


Creepy horror is right! *shivers* I hope it's worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteI think the book has been waiting for me to find it than the other way round!
DeleteWell, if it makes you feel better I'm worse than you. You may be late to the party but I actually already have a copy and STILL haven't read it.
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of about 840 books I still haven't got to! *weeps*
DeleteI love haunted house stories. This one sounds creepy and fun! Putting it on my list!
ReplyDeleteI don't read many haunted house stories overall but I like this kind of one where a group of experts gather for whatever purpose and things go wrong!
DeleteI like it - hard to go wrong with the creepy old abandoned house.
ReplyDeleteAnd a name like Kill Creek appeals too!
DeleteI don't usually read this kind of thing either but it definitely sounds creepy!!
ReplyDeleteCreepy can be good if it's well written! I hope this turns out to be good!
DeleteOooh! I love that cover and it looks like a creepy read! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW !

The cover certainly caught my attention and it sounds like a good read...
DeleteCreepy and haunted house? This sounds great! I hope you enjoy it once you get the chance to read it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this book a lot! It might be difficult to get into if you don't do haunted house stories since it uses a bunch of genre tropes, but I hope you'll have a good time!

I'm always a bit wary of the tropes but it does sound as if it is worth a go at some point
DeleteI've had this on my want list for a while. I enjoy haunted house stories and it does sound really good. I need a year or ten off so I can read all of the books I want to get to. LOL
ReplyDeleteI need that ten years to clear my wishlist! I bought a few more books this week so I'm not helping myself...but they all sound so good!
DeleteI love creepy stories like this, and that it takes place in Kansas, right next door to my state, that is even better! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Wednesday Post
Where I live, there are some really good creepy places that horror plots could be written but nobody has done it! When I was younger I did plan a few but I never got back to my writing. Now I don't have the time!
DeleteI can't remember if I bought this or not but it looks awfully familiar! I hope you enjoy it, Chuckles.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of plot can be a bit hit and miss for me so lets hope it's one of the good ones!
DeleteI'm pretty sure I saw this ARC but didn't request it because I had too many pending. It sounds SO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteToo many good sounding books out there at the moment!
