Commentary In Favor Of Books The Hunting Ground

When Elliott and his brother, Ben, move into old and crumbling Glebe House they don't expect to find themselves sharing it with ghosts.

But soon sinister events are unfolding. An old diary reveals glimpses of the mansion's past — and of a terrible tragedy. A mysterious woman talks to the dead. And evil lurks in the East Wing — a hideous labyrinth of passageways devised by a truly twisted mind.

Can Elliott and his family escape the clutches of Glebe House? Or will they be trapped in the maze of corridors, forever hunted by the dead?

Reviews

'Beautifully written and truly chilling ghost story set in a creepy mansion and featuring lost children, fearsome hunters and echoing nursery rhymes ... I liked the creepiness and the tension, which ratchets up and
up until its almost unbearable.' The Bookbag

'McNish is one of our most talented thriller writers, with an ability to make your spine crawl and your heart pound with his stylish pared down prose.' Amanda Craig, The Times

'The Hunting Ground follows all the directions laid down by writers like Edgar Allan Poe and Ambrose Bierce, but McNish makes them all his own. This is a beautifully written and truly disturbing ghost story. Enjoy and shiver.' South China Morning Post

'A masterly sense of revelation make this a seriously chilling read.' Jake Hope, The Bookseller

'A gripping and inventive ghost story for older readers in which the tension builds through apprehension, to dread and finally outright terror. This book will have readers looking over their shoulders for a long time after the last page is finished.' Booktrust

Commentary About Books The Hunting Ground
OK SO FIRST OF ALL I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT I HATE HORROR AND THRILLER NOVELS BECAUSE THEY SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF ME!BUT I FORTUNATELY READ THIS ONE AND REALLY ENJOYED IT! :Dso the setting was great, a bit cliche,(seeing how everyone goes for the haunted, gothic, eerily beautiful mansion,) but nonetheless great. the characters were great too and I loved the way they were protrayed. the ghosts were freaking scary at first but upon finding out about their intentions, i started to warm up to them. of

start date not certain

I read this in a day, because I started it on the way to work, continued on the way home and snuck away to finish it before dinner so that I would be able to comfortably go to bed. This is not a book for the very young (and I wouldnt recommend it at bedtime, either!). Its no gory horror, but it is excruciatingly tense. Cliff McNish is a skilful craftsman who knows how to manipulate the tension level and keep you guessing there is a mystery element to this novel as well. As the blurb shows, the

I give this book 3.5 stars.The book started of quite well, with Eve at the beginning, When she was dragging her doll around on the floor.But after reading few more chapters in the book, i found the book wasn't scary at all really.The only thing i didn't really like was when they were reading the dairy of Theo Stark, i did at first, but then when they found more of the dairy pages, it didn't seem like a dairy anymore it started turning into a first person perspective. But this was a great read.

This book was a quick horror story. I found it interesting and spooky. I could even say it was heavy at some points and had some nice plot twists.I would recommend it for October. I think more people should read it.
