The Uninvited: The True Story of the Union Screaming House by Steven LaChance
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
This book started out strong but it kind of dwindled down from there. I understand that true hauntings are difficult to write about effectively because, being real-life experiences, they often lack the classic points of plot and content that keep a reader engaged in a fictional story. By the ending of this one, I was just a little nonplussed, though and some of the latter details revealed by some of the eyewitnesses seemed – to me – rather cliche, indicating that the accounts were informed by numerous horror movies. This ratchets up the skepticism and I think that, in this kind of book, the last thing you want to feel at the end is MORE SKEPTICAL than when you began the read.
