The Dread Room by Michael Handy

5.0

Kate and Derrick have just moved into their first home together. Everything is perfect, apart from the fact one room fills Kate with dread every time she goes inside. She starts to research the house and finds that not only did the previous owners' infant son die in that very room, but they also had gone missing without a trace three years ago. Soon, it becomes more than just a feeling, and she starts hearing and seeing things. But what does it all mean? 

I loved everything about this one. I know, I know... I always say I'm not a big lover of paranormal stories, but I've recently found a few I've loved, and this is definitely one of them. There were a few scenes that genuinely had me feeling a little freaked out. It also had me thinking this would make a great horror movie. There were a few twists, one of which I had figured out a little while before Kate did. But, that ending... I didn't see it ending that way at all. 
This was such a great read, and if you love haunted house stories, this one is for you.
