About this listen

Something has always lived in Winthrop House.

After his book becomes a best seller, novelist Jack Ripley moves into a house on the edge of Cutler Harbor with his wife and two daughters. Nearly a century old, Winthrop House is newly-restored and boasts a gorgeous oceanfront view.

But everything is not what it seems.

Though picturesque, Jack learns that the house has been shunned for decades by the locals, owing to a number of mysterious disappearances and inexplicable deaths on the grounds.

The Ripleys begin to grapple with the property's vile reputation, learning more about its sordid history and experiencing strange things within its walls. What was once a dream home quickly becomes a nightmare for the family as they encounter the terrifying presence that has existed there since times immemorial.

A House By The Sea is a full-length novel of supernatural horror and suspense by Ambrose Ibsen.

Not bad; not great.

Upon reading reviews I expected to hear a chilling ghost story; but, it wasn't that at all. The story is interesting, characters okay, the horror nonexistent. It's mediocre at best. Even if book II was available on Audible, I wouldn't buy it. About that, Winthrop House Book I became available in 2016, yet the second book in the series has yet to appear in the Audible collection. In my opinion, soon after books are published (book II in the series is in print) an Audible version should be made available to its membership. I mean, four years is a long time to wait.. Okay, that being said, this particular A Ibsen book is a let-down. Narration is good, though.
