13 Doors
Here it is folks – happy haunting! If you’ve been around a while, you know this is my jam. I’m excited to present the 13 Doors by G J Phelps Book Tour hosted by Zooloo’s Book Tours.
About 13 Doors
Thirteen doors, thirteen hauntings.
News reporter Joe Baxter has a plan. His idea is simple – to use his newsroom contacts across England to find thirteen haunted places to stay and then record his experiences in a book.
From an abandoned cinema to a dank pub cellar, from a World War Two airfield to a lonely, landlocked cruise liner, Joe is prepared to spend long nights in the cold and dark, but has no idea what he is about to unleash.
As he endures increasingly dangerous vigils, meeting a succession of gruesome, tragic and terrifying spectres, a terrible truth begins to emerge.
Something – or someone – is reaching out to Joe, awakening long-buried memories of his father’s death, a dark family secret, and his teenage brush with madness.
And then there is Wilko, the imaginary friend who haunted his childhood. After decades of silence, Wilko has found his voice again…
A spine-tingling supernatural mystery entwined with chilling ghost stories, 13 Doors places the reader at the dark heart of the moment, from gut-wrenching action to eerie vigils.
Review for 13 Doors
I have a serious complaint – Why didn’t you take me with you?
Psssst… hop across the pond, I’ll take you to the Valisca Ax Murder House in Iowa. When I look into my crystal ball, I see book two…
I digress, let’s get back to the book. Haunted anything is my jam and this book gave me a fix for a while. I usually laugh at “scary” movies because, well, they’re not scary. The premise of the book is fantastic, you’ve got to love a guy willing to get right in there and do the research. I got goosebump vibes especially with Alfred, the drummer boy, and the caves. The format of the story was quite excellent, it reads like a novel, not… on this day, I went there, and saw this.
Overall, I can’t think of one way to improve the writing as the author has a true gift. With a peppering of spooky, a dash of dark, and an overwhelming sense of riveting creepy, I had trouble putting the book down. It’s rare that I read acknowledgements but even this part of the book was enlightening. Well done. Very well done.
Special thanks to Zooloo’s Book Tours and the author for making it possible for me to be on the tour. When I saw it was for the UK only, I died in a heap of tears. Perhaps they didn’t want me tracking them down to haunt them and found a way to get me the book. I’m eternally grateful!
