Everything at The Reata is perfect - although Rachel is a bit unnerved by the openly lustful gaze of one of the gardeners, something she doesn't mention to Lowell. Nor does he tell her about the frightening sensation he has in the pool of hands clutching at him, trying to pull him under.

For the town of Randall, Arizona, the terror starts quietly, oddly - a senile woman in her 80s becomes pregnant. Then the town's beloved minister mysteriously disappears, leaving his church and home hideously defiled by blasphemous obscenities scrawled in blood. Farmers going out to their fields in the morning find their herds of goats slaughtered. Then, as the terror intensifies, the farmers themselves are massacred. The town begins to smell of death, and the trust which has bound neighbors to one another turns to ashes.

I've had to move out of the city and into the house I inherited here, in the idyllic fishing village of Porthcove, but only for as long as it takes to sell it. You see, I need the money, so I've started seeing some of the locals, you know, as patients, but I tell you, there's something really disturbing about charming neighbors sharing chilling secrets. And it isn't just that. It's the other things. Strange, inexplicable things. It started with odd smells, creepy sounds, and then the intruders...oh God, the intruders.

Story
As a child, Lydia Pallas became all too familiar with uncertainty when it came to the future. Now, she's finally carved out a perfect life for herself - a life of stability and order with no changes, surprises, or chaos of any kind. She adores her apartment overlooking the bustling Boston Harbor, and her skill with languages has landed her a secure position as a translator for the U.S. Navy. However, it is her talent for translation that brings her into contact with Alexander Banebridge, or "Bane", a man who equally attracts and aggravates her.
Summary
Five complete strangers from across America are about to come together and open the door to a place of evil that they all call home.
Inexplicably, four men and one woman are having heart-stopping nightmares revolving around the dark and forbidding houses where each of them were born. When recent terrifying events occur, they are each drawn to their identical childhood homes, only to confront a sinister supernatural presence which has pursued them all their lives and is now closer than ever to capturing their souls....

Other Dimensions
Another great story from Bentley Little. It seems to flow over to SF rather than just horror which you associate with Bentley's books. It is about several houses on the border of other dimensions. Five people are drawn back to the house where they are born but each of their houses become one. They have been brought back back to strengthen the border between dimensions and cannot escape the house. But, are distracted and seduced by a little girl in a dirty shift who is not what she seems. She wants the border down and to take over the houses. Can the five stop her and gain back their freedom from the clutches of the house?

Promising story line that just didn’t deliver
From the very positive reviews and after reading the story outline I was looking forwards to listening to another Bentley Little story. Unfortunately ‘The House’ just didn’t deliver and I found myself losing interest even quite early on. And although I did persevere to the end I was left feeling disinterested and very disappointed.

Horror house with creepy side-kicks
The House by Bentley Little
The story revolves around five people, four men and one woman, who start to have supernatural events happen around them, all relating to the houses in which they grew up. Eventually, they all come to the realisation that they must return to their childhood homes, which seem to be the source of the problem.
I found the novel to be confusing due to the number of character POVs, all their background stories, relatives, friends. It was information overload sometimes and I often found I had forgotten who had done, what, where and with whom. Plus there is a lot of overlap in each character’s ‘childhood house’ stories which can get repetitive.
This is definitely not one for those who like mild horror and there is a lot of sex scenes (child involved) which many readers will find disturbing. But this is a horror novel which includes that as a shock value.
The pace moved along okay, but as said before, it can get repetitive. The plot does keep you wondering if anyone will survive until the end.
The narrator did a good job. I didn’t have to speed the audio up, although there were a couple of occasions when I thought there had been a little editing mistake or the wrong voice was in use for a character.
Overall, the story was interesting and the production good.

Too Long and Offensive
What an imagination Little has. I really like the narrator’s performance; he’s very good with Littles books. Once again, tho, I must question the authors use of sex-so much of it-in a depraved manner and with a child this time. It almost made me sick every time I heard those parts.
There were so many characters, it was hard to keep them all straight.
Little is a great story teller with quite the imagination! So far the least sexually offensive book, and one of the scarier ones, is the Haunted.
Mr. Little if you’re reading this, your books are good enough without all the nasty depraved sex. Try a book without it! 😉

sexual content with a perceived child.
I wonder why people who write books believe there must be sex in them.? And why would you choose to have a sex scene with a child and a grown Woman? Do readers/listeners really enjoy that crap. I can't believe people actually gave this book 5 stars. from now on I will read all reviews.

Just NO...
I wanted to like this book.
I love horror stories.
But first off, sorry David Stifel, the narration is horrible. So monotone. No offense to the narrator intended, maybe this is how they wanted the book read. But there is no emotional inflection, no character dynamics, just very bland.
Second...spoiler alert...and this is the MAIN reason I am returning this book. It involves a dream of a woman having sexual contact with a female child. Nope...no way...
Authors...you can write about anything but why feel the need to include child molestation in a book...why?

A Misunderstood (near) Masterpiece
There are a lot of terrible reviews heaped on this book. I can understand why from people spoiled by Little’s usually concise and fast-moving storytelling. Maybe because this was the first book I ever read by Little I bring a different perspective to it. It’s a complicated story with multiple themes. That said, it is also heavily weighted with much menacing and foreboding horror. The humor that runs through virtually all Littles work is sadly missed but I think the labyrinthine if not hyperactive evolution of ‘The House’ amply compensate. It’s long and it’s sloppy but it’s also a feast which I imagine Little himself had a tough time controlling. But I love the fact it’s equal parts rambling and horrific. There are some extreme scenes which involve pedophilia so be warned. However it’s nothing that might alienate fans of Richard Laymon for instance (though he got away with it by making his sexy heroines 17 which is the age of consent in a lot of states). I’ve now read or listened to ‘The House’ three times and get something new from it each time. The narrator is wonderful and always is. He’s not perfect at female voices but that’s par the course for most male narrators I feel.
