About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

You let them back in.
You shouldn't have...


Young couple Charlie and Eve can’t believe the killer deal they got on an old house deep in the mountains. One day, a man knocks on the door. He says he lived there years before and asks if he can show his family around.

As soon as they enter, strange things start to happen, and Eve is desperate for them to leave and never come back. But they can’t – or won’t – take the hint that they are no longer welcome.

Then, Charlie vanishes, and Eve begins to lose her grip on reality. She’s convinced there’s something terribly wrong with the house and its past inhabitants . . . or is it all in her head?

The Turn of the Key meets Parasite in this gripping, eerily haunting debut and Reddit hit – soon to be a Netflix original movie starring Blake Lively – that will keep you up into the early hours. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Leave the World Behind.

Confused

I ended the story with more questions than answers so for me it was not my favourite book.

Creepy but okay

Wasn’t keen on the narrator but the story was good - but a bit confusing. Definitely a few things left unanswered… multiple theories can be made for it by the reader…

Creep factor

I had to listen to this during the day because it spooked me out too much to listen to it at night.

One of the best horror books I’ve ever listed to

It took me a long time to find a well written, adult rated original horror and this is it, and it’s perfectly suited to audiobook.
Creepy as hell! A quiet, but staggering supernatural horror.
Great narrator.

Awesome and super twisted

4.5 stars.Still don't know if it was psychological thriller or horror. The characters were amazing.The atmosphere and creepiness of the novel was amazing.

Mind blowing story & I’m still in questions

Loved every bit of this book. I’m still thinking about what actually happened& I can’t believe it. It kept me awake at night.

Thrilling. Engaging. Emotional.

This book had me on the edge of my seat, unable to put it down. Would highly recommend to anybody who loves a good mind bending thriller.

Dragged on for me…DNF

It just took too long to get to the point for me. The narrator is great, and I was interest to hear the story, but it just took too long to get to the point. I’m a few hours in, and so far the main character is creeped out by people who used to live in her house (visiting unannounced)…. But I still haven’t figured out if it’s the protagonists imagination and anxiety fuelling her fears.. or if there’s any basis to what she’s feeling. Not enough time in my life to keep listening to find out.
