All Hallows Hall, a rambling Tudor mansion on the edge of the bleak, misty moor is not a place many would choose to live. Yet the former governor of Dartmoor Prison did just that. Now he's dead, and his estranged family is set to inherit his estate. But when the dead man's family comes to stay, the atmosphere of the moors seems to drift into every room.

Empty streets are littered with stalled-out cars, buses, and motorcycles. A sunless and moonless sky is covered with an enormous barrier that prevents any view of the heavens. Nothing stirs. The air is oppressive and there is no wind, not even the softest breeze. It was supposed to be a typical day for the five friends, but they wake up to discover that they are left alone on earth. The world that they knew is gone. All that is left is silence, pervasive, absolute silence.

She's always watching.... When Guy finds the deeds to a house in his mother's attic, it seems like an incredible stroke of luck. Sure, the building hasn't been inhabited in 40 years and vines strangle the age-stained walls, but Guy is convinced he can clean it up and sell it. He'd be crazy to turn down free money. Right? The house is hours from any other habitation, and Guy can't get phone reception in the old building. He decides to camp there while he does repairs. Surely nothing too bad can happen in the space of a week. But there's a reason no one lives in Rookward House, and the dilapidated rooms aren't as empty as they seem....

Addiction starts like a sweet lullaby sung by a trusted loved one. It washes away the pains of the day and wraps you in the warmness of the womb where nothing hurts and every dream is possible. Yet soon enough, this warm state of bliss becomes a cold shiver, the ecstasy and dreams become nightmares, yet we can't stop listening to the lullaby. We crave to hear the siren song as it rips us apart.

Story
The islands of Britain and Ireland hold a rich heritage of plant folklore and wisdom, from the magical yew tree to the bad-tempered dandelion. Here are traditional tales about the trees and plants that shape our landscapes and our lives through the seasons. They explore the complex relationship between people and plants, in lowlands and uplands, fields, bogs, moors, woodlands and towns.
Publisher's Summary
Evil resides in Amon Palace. Something worse came to visit.
Four veterans of the Iraq War seeking a cure for Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder arrive at a notoriously haunted house in the bogs of Galveston Island called Amon Palace.
Samantha Green, a friendless former Army K-9 handler looking for a way to put her loss behind her.
Brad Myers, a lighthearted former Military Police Officer severally wounded in war wanting nothing more than a good nights sleep.
Andy Lovejoy, an overweight light spoken drone operator who once watched the war from above now questions who he has become.
Marcus Pangborn, a headstrong Marine who desperately wants a dead friend’s forgiveness.
The group joins Doctor Frederick Peters, an experimental psychologist looking to prove his exposure theory hypothesis, and his two assistants, Tiffany Burgess and Dexter Reid.
At first, their stay seems to conjure nothing more than spooky encounters with inexplicable phenomena. But Amon Palace is gathering its powers-and soon it will reveal that these veterans are not who they seem.

The Haunting of Amon Palace
Thomas S. Flowers definitely knows how to tell a good ghost story. If you are a child of the 80s, you should be familiar with all the building blocks he uses to make his stories. Definitely reminded me of some popular horror movies. I liked the mix of characters and while they all provide their back story and do evolve during the story, I didn’t find myself really attached to any of them. Each has their own issues, but I found that the house itself was the more intriguing part. The crew seemed more like your typical made for TV haunted house story where everyone is expendable. I was ok with that as I wanted to hear more about the house and the ghosts that reside there. The interactions of the different ghosts with the people is what really stood out in this story since they were a more personal to each character. Haunted House stories tend to be similar and I thought this story was unique in that these are not ghost hunters, just troubled people getting therapy in a stressful environment. Not sure that I would ever sign up for this type of therapy, especially since I have now heard one way it could go. I liked how the story builds and how everything plays out, although I didn’t really think the ending fit. I wanted a bit more intensity. Matt Weight did a good job narrating. I enjoyed his voice and the energy he put into the characters. The different character voices were paired perfectly for how I pictured each one.

Thomas S. Flowers never ceases to surprise me. He also has a knack for tackling current events/socially motivated issues without beating us over the head with it. PTSD is an enormous problem of our time and Flowers places this incredibly serious issue within the walls of a haunted house. It's almost as if the house is an allegory for the people themselves: something malleable is now housed within walls that will be forever haunted. Their minds are trapped in their skulls and there is no escape. Flowers is endlessly clever and his writing is tight, compelling and believable. Matt Weight rises to the occasion here and delivers a phenomenal performance. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Rose red meets PTSD vets from iraq
A great tale of paranormal horror, so why a 4 on story? Language and some explicit descriptions of a sexual nature making it inappropriate listening with my kids. Now as an adult story it is awesome just don’t listen with younger kids. The horror is great the author sets the mood and conveys the movie quality imagery to you with ease. A really great ghost story with many a twist. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

Great Creepy and Unique Horror Story
From 'Go' this story had me, and it never really let me go. An experimental psychology experiment with characters who are interesting with disparate pasts (leading through their tenure in the military where they developed ptsd) potentially being healed by extreme therapy. But of course extreme therapy in a ghost story goes off the rails in increasingly horrifying ways that plays off the characters and their pasts. It was really entertaining and creepy and I really enjoyed it. I received the audiobook code for this story at my request and have voluntarily left this honest review.

very creepy!
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Very creepy! A group of veterans suffering from PTSD go to a haunted house for treatment. What could go wrong? This book reminded me of early sci fi horror. You have a haunted house full of ghosts or creatures. Things are happening to our veterans almost as soon as they check in. Very interesting story, with a feel for todays world. The narration was very well done. Very easy to listen to. Over all I have to say four stars. Not a completely new idea overall for the story, but the telling and modern day twist was great!

Great Haunted House Story
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. A group of military veterans voluntarily becomes part of a psychological experiment to learn to cope with their PTSD and the emotional trauma it brings. A Psychiatrist has dreams of grandeur if his experiment works: book deals, interviews, nothing short of fame. The experiment is set to take place in a "haunted house" and as you can imagine things go horribly awry. There are homages to Shirley Jackson't Haunting of Hill House all through this book, which was nice. Thomas Flowers gives us a much more brutal haunted house story than Jackson's famous novel. This was a fun read and like all good horror novels really ramped up the intensity as the end approached. Matt Weight did a great job with the characters and his narration was spot on. My only critique of the book is that the ending is a bit abrupt. I'd have loved to have seen some other possibilities explored at the end, but this is still a fun read. If you like a good haunted house story, then check this one out.

PTSD survivors meets haunted house
I really love the idea behind this book. Veterans suffering from PTSD staying in a haunted house to confront their fears, The combination of the two made for a very interesting book. The author did a good job bringing the characters to life and creating that eerie presence that all haunted houses need.
