The Bennett family had just moved into the old castle-like mansion across town, Mr. Bennett's dream home from his childhood years. The house was creepy and ominous and Bobby Bennett found he didn't like it much. When Bobby explores the attic and discovers an old radio that was 'cool' enough to put in his bedroom, things begin to happen. Strange and evil things! First, the whispers in the night, then the ghostly image...it wants Bobby to do unspeakable deeds. And most importantly, it wants him to 'replace'! Bobby is terrified to find out what that means! But is Bobby only dreaming or is this nightmare real? He wasn't sure until tragedy struck his new friend. Evil can hide in the strangest and most innocent of places. Can Bobby resist the demands of the ghost who is driven by the 'Demon from Hell' before it is too late for his family...and himself?
This was quite an intense book for me. However I loved it as I am a paranormal author. Deborah McClatchey did a fabulous job in putting together a pretty frightening book. I think this would be perfect for a movie. The writing is wonderful and the plot like I said pretty intense. The main character Bobby never knows what is going to happen from one moment to the next. Suspense, intense, thrill are definitely found in each and every page. I would recommend the book to all the people who love scary books. This will be the perfect book for them. Nice job Deborah McClatchey.
Interesting, Intense and Haunting Ghost Story I always found stories about haunted houses fascinating—pretty scary but fascinating—and this one was a real treat. Tuning In To Terror is the interesting story of Bobby, who moves into a ghostly house with his family. After he finds an old radio in the attic, strange/scary/evil things start to happen. The book is quite intense and frightening, and the reader keeps on wondering what that “presence” is and what does it want from Bobby. It’s a good read for adults and maybe teenagers who like horror stories, but not for younger children. **Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review
This is a dark and eerie tale. It reminds me somewhat of something R.L. Stein might write. A young boy finds an old radio in the attic of a house his family just moved into and that is when the terror begins. A spooky and enjoyable read
