In a quest for a simpler life, Helen and Nate have abandoned the comforts of suburbia to take up residence on 44 acres of rural land where they will begin the ultimate, aspirational do-it-yourself project: building the house of their dreams. When they discover that this beautiful property has a dark and violent past, Helen, a former history teacher, becomes consumed by the local legend of Hattie Breckenridge, a woman who lived and died there a century ago.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 352
As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In this audiobook, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 267
Twenty-five years ago, Maggie Holt and her parents, Ewan and Jess, moved into Baneberry Hall, a rambling Victorian estate in the Vermont woods. Three weeks later they fled in the dead of night, an ordeal Ewan later recounted in a nonfiction book called House of Horrors. His horror memoir of ghostly happenings and encounters with malevolent spirits became a worldwide phenomenon, rivaling The Amityville Horror in popularity — and skepticism.

Story4 out of 5 stars 45
In the lands of Bethel, where the Prophet's word is law, Immanuelle Moore's very existence is blasphemy. Her mother's union with an outsider of a different race cast her once-proud family into disgrace, so Immanuelle does her best to worship the Father, follow Holy Protocol, and lead a life of submission, devotion, and absolute conformity, like all the other women in the settlement. But a mishap lures her into the forbidden Darkwood surrounding Bethel, where the first prophet once chased and killed four powerful witches.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 48
What could be more restful than a weekend getaway with family and friends? An isolated luxury cabin in the woods, spectacular views, a hot tub and a personal chef. Hannah’s generous brother found the listing online. The reviews are stellar. It'll be three couples on this trip with good food, good company and lots of R & R. But the dreamy weekend is about to turn into a nightmare.

Written by: T. Kingfisher
Publisher's Summary
The New York Times best-selling author of Promise Not to Tell returns with a simmering literary thriller about ghostly secrets, dark choices, and the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters...sometimes too unbreakable.
West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and old legends. The most mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in 1908, was found dead in the field behind her house just months after the tragic death of her daughter, Gertie. Now, in present day, 19-year-old Ruthie lives in Sara's farmhouse with her mother, Alice, and her younger sister, Fawn. Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that suddenly proves perilous when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished without a trace. Searching for clues, she is startled to find a copy of Sara Harrison Shea's diary hidden beneath the floorboards of her mother's bedroom. As Ruthie gets sucked deeper into the mystery of Sara's fate, she discovers that she's not the only person who's desperately looking for someone that they've lost. But she may be the only one who can stop history from repeating itself.

As sad as it is suspenseful
Great supernatural mystery. Guessed some parts but was surprised by others. Unpretentious and just the right amount of spooky.

A Spooky, Engaging Story
I really enjoyed this book, my favourite out of the last 10 or so books I've read. I am a horror fan, so I enjoyed the simple, creepy moments such as a knocking on the closet door or the glimpse of a shape in the trees. The story was very interesting and kept me engaged right until the end. The book jumps in time to different characters but it is never confusing due to the chapter heads and character voices. It's not perfect, the characters made a few dumb choices to ensure the plot moved forward, but overall it was a rich story with believable, developed characters. Some other reviews mention the fact the narrator whispers. I also found this off-putting at first but note that it is only for the first chapter, for one particular character. The whispering does not continue for the entire book and I found the narrator did a great job with emotion and variation in the character voices. If you're the type of person that likes ghost stories around the campfire, you should like this book.

Creepy & enthralling
This book was captivating and creepy! Really enjoyed it. Worth a credit to listen to. Enough twists to keep me listening nonstop.
I have heard Cassandra Campbell before and enjoyed her narration - both were great. There were times where the character Sara sounded a bit like the inflections of Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek and that was at bit distracting, haha, but otherwise enjoyed the narration.

Neat Historical Ghost Story
I saw some other reviews complaining about the whispery voice, but the bulk of the story doesn't have the whisperiness of the sample. There are times when the narrator lowers their voice a bit, but I didn't find it annoying at all, and I didn't have to adjust the volume up or down at all. Overall, the narration was good.
The story involves a bit of jumping back and forth between different time periods, which I found a little confusing at first, but it doesn't take long to figure who's who and when's when.
Good story overall, if you're looking for something sort of atmospheric and supernatural, but still with a bit of depth and substance to it.

Couldn’t stop listening
The story of „The Winter People“ grabbed me right from the start and I couldn’t stop listening until finished in (almost) one go.
Masterfully narrated and wonderfully suspenseful. Spooky without robbing your sleep, I enjoyed listening to this well woven story every single minute.

Great story, great narrator!
This half ghost/half witchy thriller was suspenseful in a horror way, and in a mystery way. Loved every minute of it, I just wish there was more of it!
