An American Haunting,
By S Simon (Weatherford, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An American Haunting (Hardcover)
I love a good ghost story, and Scott Johnson delivers! This was a page turner, very creepy.
A Texas family moves into a "fixer-upper" and finds out there is more that needs fixing than just dry rot. The characters came alive and so did the ghosts but I have to warn you--do not read this before bed.

WOW! Very creepy!,

An American Haunting is a great ghost story about a house in Central Texas. The author creates the warmth and closeness with the family while maintaining the scene of evil which is needed in every good spook fest. The "shower" scene...gave me shivers! I would recommend it to anyone who likes a creepy story with a great ending! Buy it, Read it and Love it!

Great ghost story,
By ValFreya "Brandy E" (Texas!!!!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An American Haunting (Hardcover)
This debut novel is a scary little book. Scott A. Johnson weaves a very realistic tale of a family caught up in something bigger than themselves. He mines the insecurities of keeping a family together through hard times to form the framework of this story. This novel has great pacing, which makes it a great summer read. I finished this in an evening. Since it is such a tight book you don't get the page after page of exposition, which can get tedious in ghost stories. Pick this one up for a night of goosebumps... especially the shower scene <shivers>
