Story
Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip - a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfre. The boys are a tight-knit crew. There’s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well-liked and easygoing; then there’s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there - which makes Scoutmaster Tim’s job a little easier.

Story
In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened.

Amazing!
- By Luke Chalkley on 28-04-2016
Publisher's Summary
A chilling thriller that brilliantly blends psychological suspense and supernatural horror, reminiscent of Stephen King's The Shining, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House and William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist.
The lives of the Barretts, a suburban New England family, are torn apart when 14-year-old Marjorie begins to display signs of acute schizophrenia. To her parents' despair, the doctors are unable to halt Marjorie's descent into madness. As their stable home devolves into a house of horrors, they reluctantly turn to a local Catholic priest for help and soon find themselves the unwitting stars of The Possession, a hit reality television show. When events in the Barrett household explode in tragedy, the show and the shocking incidents it captures become the stuff of urban legend. Fifteen years later a best-selling writer interviews Marjorie's younger sister, Merry. As she recalls the terrifying events that took place when she was just eight years old, long-buried secrets and painful memories begin to surface, and a mind-bending tale of psychological horror is unleashed.

would give 3.5/5
I felt the story took a long time to get going. Nearly stopped listening at one point..all the action was towards the end of the book. Nevertheless it had creepy moments that had you questioning what was going on.

A very thoughtful book
An interesting read, slow at parts but always interesting. Can’t decide if it’s more ‘The Exorcist’ or ‘We Have To Talk About Kevin’ but it was engaging. Narrator was excellent too.

Honestly confusing
I felt like this book had good intentions but got swept up into two different what was happening and what was made up. This made it extremely hard to follow at times and honestly confusing, hence the headline of this review. It is a solid 2.5 stars because I didn’t hate it to the point of not finishing but it was honestly a slog to finish for me.

I liked the story although predictable with the twists not as twisty as I’d hoped.
Performance was solid, can’t say I liked the ‘dads’ voice portrayal.

Interesting twists and turns.
I really enjoyed this reading. One criticism for a brilliant performance, work on your male voice! Otherwise, as I said, brilliant. As for the story itself, it lacked a lot of true horror or, what makes me frightened anyway. Stephen King gave It high praise so who am I to judge. I just found it to be more of an account of a situation that I found myself easily lost in at times and distant at others. But I sound like I'm criticising too much when I enjoyed the characters and following along with Merry. Action from beginning to end which is a big winner. I wanna hang out with Ken too. Overall, I recommend.

This book engaged me from the start and kept me going back to it at every opportunity. The plot weaves and ducks al over the place and is told through the voice of Mary ... A cracking good read that leads us through the lives of a family , tormented and struggling to understand the complete breakdown of their way of life ..
