The prologue was pretty interesting, and tracking the last survivor (through a room of flesh!) of what comes to be known as Slaughter Night at the Hildreth House was pretty intense. We begin with a ritualistic slaughter at a mansion that doubles as a porn studio. I think Edward Lee is a good writer, but haunted house stories are obviously not his forte. Though I’ve only read two of his books, I can tell that Flesh Gothic is far from Ed Lee’s best work. All in all, a very exciting and mostly spooky read that I highly recommend. And a supernatural charge within the house builds until the climatic ending. Before we know it, paranormal events are happening daily and are taken as normal. Westmore soon gets set up at the house along with two assistants and four psychics the investigations start turning up weird event after weird event. OK, sex isn't required in a haunted house story but it certainly adds to the enjoyment.Īfter a brief prologue and the introduction of all the characters, the story follows Westmore, a reporter who has been hired to determine the secrets behind some murders which occurred by her husband at a huge mansion. It had a cast of complex characters who you weren't quite sure of which ones to trust. It had the required haunted house with ghosts, demons and other entities. It's been a while since I've read a good haunted house story and this book fit the bill perfectly.
