No one in Willow Street pays it any notice, not the disgruntled Campbell family next door, not Alice Cowley and her suicidal daughter, or Mr. and Mrs. Markham down the road. Not even Darryl, the loner at number seventy, who is abnormal himself, thinks much about it. It is just the old Kemper House, forgotten and abandoned.
Until it makes itself known.
When the stench of death wafts from Kemper House through Willow Street, and comes to the attention of recent resident and newspaper reporter, Ben Traynor, it starts a chain of horrors that brings Kemper House's curse into their own homes and leads others direct to its door. Kemper House not only haunts its neighbors, it infects them with an evil that traverses time and reality itself.
Willow Street was a place where nothing interesting ever happened. People went about their everyday lives and didn’t pay attention to the abandoned house at the end of the street. That was until the stench of a dead body came from the old Kemper home. Suddenly the lives of everyone living on Willow Street are forever changed. As this is happening, the house begins to possess some people in the neighborhood and cause others to die. A newspaper reporter, Ben Traynor, whose home is across from the house, begins to investigate it, seeking a possible story connected to the finding of that corpse. He soon learns that this house and another like it in town, plus two other places, were built by a man for a good … no, bad reason.
This haunted house story does have an interesting premise. And the tale captured my interest at first. Though it does become confusing after a while. Maybe due to the many characters. Still, if you are looking for that scary haunted house story, you might trying reading this one.
I gave Hollow House 4 haunted sheep.
