The Basement by Chad P. Brown
3.0
I loved the feel of this book, and the story line was even decent, but the writing was pretty bad. I felt like I was reading a lot of repetition and I could feel Brown trying to squeeze an insignificant detail into every sentence.
Heather is sent into the towns notorious haunted house where a man killed his wife and himself. Her friends bet her that she can't go all the way into the basement of the house. Of course she has to prove them wrong, in true horror story fashion, and she goes. She then starts having flash backs of her mother whom died a year earlier, at Heather's hand, accidentally. They were arguing and Heather went to yank her arm out of her mother's hand, and her mother fell down the stairs to her death.
So, Heather is seeing an old decrepit version of her mother and she is getting increasingly angry. Heather thinks she goes away and right before she gets to the front door, the ghost of her mother rips her heart out and she dies.
