A pair of Darcy Coates books this week!
The Carrow Haunt
By Darcy Coates
This book was written by Darcy Coates and was a buddy read, but I would have read this book even if it wasn't picked to be discussed. I have read other books by this author. Coates and Stephan King both have issues closing their novels, but I enjoy the journeys to that point. This novel takes place at a very haunted house and a group of "ghost experts". There are some scary parts and silly parts, and they kept me excited to keep reading. The thing that made this book so enjoyable is that it's not gross. Sometimes horror books and films get yucky, and I'm not a big fan of that. I would very much recommend it.
The Haunting of Gillespie House
By Darcy Coates
I actually read this book at the beginning of the month. I read this mostly on my phone while waiting for my kids at school pickup or for practice to end. I even read it on the stationary bike. This novel has another haunted house, but it didn't creep me out as much as other Coates' books. My copy of the book included a short story the author based this novel on. She originally wanted to write a short story and it turned out to be a whole book. This short story was way more creepy than the full length book. I would probably recommend the book, but it just wasn't my favorite of this author's books.
