Night Things
Night Things | Michael Talbot
5 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
Built by a madwoman during the Victorian era, Lake House is a 160-room mansion in the Adirondacks with stairways that lead nowhere, bizarre rooms designed to distort the senses, endless series of mazelike halls-and a century-long history of violent deaths. Lauren Montgomery, her son Garrett, and her new rock star husband Stephen Ransom have just arrived at Lake House, anticipating a long and relaxing summer. But what they don't know is that their rental home is actually a labyrinthine puzzle at whose center lurks something unspeakably evil . . . An inventive and chilling haunted house story in the vein of Mark Z. Danielewski's "House of Leaves," Michael Talbot's "Night Things" (1988) is a page-turning mixture of horror and fantasy from the author of "The Delicate Dependency." "[T]he most ingenious haunted house in years . . . a grand puzzle . . . Haunted-house fans will enjoy the inventive architecture of Lake House." - "Kirkus Reviews" "Talbot is a great storyteller . . . Night Things has twists which will pleasantly surprise even jaded horror readers." - "Weird Tales Magazine"

The Ransoms are hoping to enjoy a summer they will never forget, and Lake House does not plan on disappointing them.

This was a good story. Original. I might have to check out other books by this author.

A 1988 #horror novel with a totally 80‘s premise- entertainment journalist marries a rock star after a whirlwind courtship and is whisked off to a mysterious lake lodge for the summer. I appreciated the uniqueness. #48 on Paste magazine‘s list of the 50 best horror novels of all time.
