Three Words That Describe This Book: flawed protagonists, violent, intense
Another promising haunted house debut is THE MOORE HOUSE by horror reviewer and Con organizer Tony Tremblay, but this one is more violent and intense than Sorensen’s and comes with a side of seriously flawed protagonists and a healthy portion of terrifying demons. After something gruesome happens in a New Hampshire home a priest and three excommunicated nuns are asked to come and cleanse the building, but it is only after they give it the all clear that the demons truly begin to unleash their wrath and power. Tremblay deftly works his realistic characters, a well framed, super creepy New England setting, and a terrifyingly compelling backstory to keep readers up all night, unwilling to stop turning the pages, both to find out what happens and because they are too frightened to turn out the lights.
