An Unsettling Eerie Ghost Story and A Dark Disturbing Psychological Thriller
STORY-LINE THE HAUNTING OF BARRY’S LODGE BY ANNIE WALTERS:
Up and coming British author Annie Walters created a psychological thriller which is dark, disturbing and scary. Alfred’s a failure at everything he tries. Although he has not written a word in 5 years, he believes he’s a writer. The long-awaited novel is almost nonexistent. His father-in-law, who has financed Alfred’s family for years, gives him one last chance. A week in a remote lodge to write his book or he’s cut off.
But what he finds will not be peace and quite in which to write but terror. With a long history of disturbing events, Barry’s Lodge takes hold of Alfred mind and test his sanity as he falls under its spell. My review follows.
CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, DEVELOPMENT:
Author Annie Walters created a profoundly psychological thriller in this novel. The main character, Alfred, frightened and alone, wonders if he is losing his mind. With terrifying moments of ghostly appearance, strange emails, weird sounds, voices, mad Martha, and Barry the owner, she kept me on the edge of my seat. I began to wonder if Barry’s mentally disturbed, as well as a failure. She created a vivid monstrous history of horror; Alfred descends into hell.
I found the pace fast with a well-developed story-line. The events developed smoothly as the author created this tale of horror. Transitioning smoothly from scene to scene, she described each scene in detail. Ghost, monsters, and madness fill The Haunting of Barry’s Lodge. This well-crafted psychological thriller ended with a finale I did not expect. Were the monsters real? You will have to read the book to find out.
THE HAUNTING OF BARRY’S LODGE RECOMMENDATION: STARS 4
